Let's Build Something Mobile, Round 2!

Back in January, ComponentOne and Microsoft partnered on a series of hands-on webcasts for building Windows Phone applications. You can see my recap and materials at http://our.componentone.com/2012/01/23/lets-build-something-mobile-session-1-recap/. It's time for a second round of webcasts. Government and citizen-oriented apps represent a huge emerging market for mobile developers. These “Let’s Build Something Mobile” Workshops will walk you through the basics of creating, testing and deploying a Public Sector app, so that No Developer is Left Behind taking advantage of this new market. As a participant you will have the opportunity to create your own unique Public Sector Windows Phone app that is ready to be deployed to the Windows Phone Marketplace. During each of the two sessions, experts from Microsoft and ComponentOne will be available to answer questions and offer guidance. Just as before, these webcasts will be hands-on, led by myself and Greg Lutz. All attendees to Greg's session will receive Studio for Windows Phone free, and everyone who has an app accepted into the Windows Marketplace will receive a phone! Session 1: Fast Track your First App
