DNUG This week: Silverlight in your Hand

I've watched the announcements around Windows 7 Series Mobile with great interest - it strikes me that using Silverlight for the user experience of a new mobile platform is a stroke of genius, as there's a readily available of developers already familiar with the required techniques and patterns.

This week at the Wellington .NET user group:

Kevin Daly presents Silverlight In Your Hand: WP7 Development for Silverlight developers new to mobile, mobile developers new to Silverlight, and everyone else perplexed by both.

An introduction to the APIs and tools (including Blend), working with Launchers and Choosers, using Notifications, transient storage, and essential MVVM for lazy people.

I've been too busy with other projects to even try out an emulator - yet, anyway. Presentations like this are a good way for me to see what's going on - and might even give me the ammunition I need to promote this at work ...

The event will be at the usual place: Xero, Level 1, Old Bank Arcade, 98 Customhouse Quay, Wellington from 6pm on the 11th August.
