On August 25th join Canada’s Technology .NET User Group [@CTTDNUG] for a presentation on Windows Phone Series 7 with Mark Arteaga. If you would like to learn how to develop for the phone, or would just like to see one of the devices up close and personal this is the place to be.

That’s right, up close and personal, Mark will be bringing his Developer Edition device along with him to show off what Windows Phone 7 really has to offer.

Head over to the CTTDNUG Community Site to register.

Session Abstract

Developing for the “Third Screen” – Windows Phone 7

For the longest time Microsoft has been talking about their “Three Screens and the Cloud” strategy but did not really have a compelling mobile story. With the arrival of Windows Phone 7, the third screen has arrived and with that the new Windows Phone developer story has arrived. During this session you will get a high level overview of the platform plus go into some of the new APIs available for Windows Phone 7. We will cover the new application model, Windows Phone 7 specific services, sensors, multimedia plus more! Come and learn how to build for the third screen, build for Windows Phone 7.

Community Events: Thursday August 12!

If you are developing for WP7 and have questions this is a great place to get your questions answered. Since a physical Windows Phone 7 device seems to be at a premium these days [not for long] you may even get to test your app on a real device!

The event will be held at Starbucks located at 4 King St West, Toronto, ON between 12pm and 7pm [lots of time to talk windows phone].

This FREE event is to focus on current, or hopeful Windows Phone 7 developers, also to reach out to the indie-coder.

If you are in the Toronto area and are planning to come let Mark know via his blog or twitter @MarkArteaga!
