Software Distribution in Windows Phone 7

There will be only one way for distributing our applications and it’s called Market Place. This means that there will be no more cab files or anything else. Market Place is an application, which comes with Windows Phone 7 OS. All the applications for Windows Phone 7 will be available for purchase and download thru Market Place. There will be two methods to pay for an application – with credit card and thru your mobile operator (by adding an application fee to your monthly bill).

Hardware requirements for Windows Phone 7 Part 1 – Buttons, Screen, Cameras, Keyboards, Wireless, Bluetooth, CPU

Last week I gave three presentations at the DevConnections spring show in Orlando.  I received a lot of great feedback from attendees which I definitely appreciate, especially since I was feeling a little bit bad about having run out of time in my first two talks (and overcompensating a bit on my last one, which ended a few minutes early).  I definitely try to err on the side of too much content, with the idea being that if I can't fit it all in, at least the slides and demos are there for attendees to reference, and I'm happy to answer emails with questions about any of the material.

I very much enjoyed my double presentation at the Microsoft Health and Life Sciences Conference in Atlantic City,

where I promised, as always, to post my slides and source code.

• Here are the slides  for the introductory session
• Here are the slides for the second, intermediate session

During the first session we covered adding controls to a form and events and event bubbling; here is the source code.
