A very strong kickoff for the Windows Phone 7 App. Store 8 aout 2010 11:53
If you’re a developer on the .NET platform and the only way you have to make money is to invest your time in developing an app.,
the Windows Phone 7 MarketPlace could be your gold rush. Why? Because the MarketPlace will open with 90 000 potential customers.
Yes, Microsoft just announced that
all fulltime employees will be getting a free Windows Phone 7 when the device is released. So if you are among the
first to have an application in the MarketPlace, you have a strong chance to make money. The rumor is that 1 million
devices will be sold by Christmas. Even if it’s 500 000 sold, that’s still a chance to make a lot of money with your own
application that you can test on a device at the DevTeach bootcamp before the stores open!
If you are into this new gold rush, you must check out the DevTeach Windows Phone 7 Boot Camp. It’s 3 days of training
presented in two days in 4 cities. Colin Melia will have a device on site and if you’ve already started an application,
you’ll be able to test it on the device during the Boot Camp. Check out the details of this
boot camp at this link.
Are you series about WP7 development and want to be ready for the coming holiday season?
Microsoft is serious about supporting developers who are serious about the Windows Phone 7 platform.
Participants at the any one of our WP7 Bootcamps will be connected with a member of the Microsoft Canada Developer Platform & Evangelism team who will help get their applications on to the Windows Phone Marketplace. Microsoft views boot camp participants as developers who are series about WP7 and worthy of special attention ļ.
dnrTV show on WP7 development with Colin Melia 21 juillet 2010 12:04 Colin Melia has been very busy this summer. He did a dnrTV show about the development of application on Windows Phone 7. This show is now online and you can view it at http://www.dnrtv.com/default.aspx?showNum=172 . If you are not familiar with dnrTV (.NET Rock TV) take a look at the long list of free training video (over 170 shows) available at this link: http://www.dnrtv.com/archives.aspx This is a very good opportunity for you to get to know our star trainer for the WP7 Boot Camp.
.NET developers can now get in on the next gold rush with Windows Phone 7. And trust me; it will be a BIG wave. Just think of all the iPhone apps you can recreate for this new platform in a fraction of time it takes on the iPhone platform. You can create cool multi-platform using XNA and cloud-connected applications with Silverlight. The marketplace will open around the end of summer for this new platform. Finally, a real platform that can compete with the iPhone. If you are not convinced take a look at the video below. I have been an iPhone user for the past 2 years and after seeing this, I was ready to toss my iPhone for the Windows Phone 7.
This is a very good opportunity for .Net developpers to get ahead of this wave. And trust me, It will be a BIG wave. Just think all of the Iphone app you can recreate for this new platform in a fraction of time it takes on the Iphone platform. BTW DevTeach is the first organisation to provide a Bootcamp on Windows Phone 7 in Canada. Do not miss this chance.
