Title: Nino Benvenuti presents Windows Phone 7 Development

Windows Phone 7 is here! Now it is time to learn how to leverage Silverlight and XNA on the phone and make the most of this great platform! In this session you will learn how to create an app, launch your choosers and choose your launchers, store data locally and in the cloud, interact with device hardware, and survive tombstoning! User experience, security, performance, deployment, and app monetization will also be covered. Additionally, we will walk through the dev tools and deploy our sample app to both the emulator and an actual WP7 device. We might even get to validate the rumor that Windows Phone 7 makes phone calls, too!
