Mob SIG Event: Windows Phone 7 - has Microsoft got mobile right this
time?
Windows Phone 7 is Microsoft's latest approach at the mobile phone
market. It is a drastic shift away from their previous attempts at
trying to bring Windows XP feel into the palm of your hand.
The entire WP7 experience has been standardised to follow the "Metro"
theme which embraces concepts such as discoverability, content over
chrome, and touch as the primary input (without the fiddly stylus).
Microsoft do not actually create these phones themselves, they create
the software and hardware manufacturers produce the phones. Similar to
how Google does it with Android.
Join David Burela & Jarred Sargent as they give an overview of what
the Windows Phone 7 platform is and how to get started with it.
David will take us through a demonstration of the phone platform and
how it differs from previous Windows Mobile phones. He will also talk
about the UI design considerations of the "Metro" theme that permeates
through the entire phone.
Jarred Sargent will give an overview of what it takes to easily build
applications for the phone and will demonstrate some easy hello world
applications and his experiences as a developer.
