Oana and myself just got back from the RONUA VS2010 Roadshow in Timisoara where we presented our Hawkeye WP7 app.

The event started with a keynote by Aurelian Popa, continued with our presentation, followed by the Imagine Cup 2010 embedded teams from Timisoara, BUZZ & EcoSynthesis, and ended with an F# introduction and Windows 7 for devs presentations.

The event lasted a good four hours with lots of knowledge in them and it was worth attending.

To check out our Hawkeye presentation, go to http://tinyurl.com/resurse-hawkeye and you'll get out pptx file and some other WP7 resources.

Take care,

Oana & Arthur

The new Windows Phone OS lets you build user friendly and well animated applications by taking advantage of Silverlight, the platform for rich media applications.
The Microsoft Windows Phone homepage is http://www.windowsphone7series.com/ but the place for developers is at http://developer.windowsphone.com/windows-phone-7-series/.

MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) contains parts of the final documentation. It is the best place to start reading about the Windows Phone SDK and a good starting point to begin coding.

We decided to join the Imagine Cup 2010 - Windows Phone 7 "Rockstar" Award.
In the following posts both Oana and I will describe features of the new Windows Phone platform which will probably come out in the fall of 2010.

Hawkeye is a Windows Phone application for uploading and sharing your travel pictures with friends and family. You need a Windows Live account and, if you want, a Twitter account.

Take a look at the following screenshots:

All trip pictures in one place. You can take a new camera picture or upload an existing picture

Uploading a picture to SkyDrive and posting a Twitter update
