Hi guys,

Join us on monday at the Microsoft Student Partners presentations regarding Microsoft competitions. eXcite is the local competition which will be explained to everyone thoroughly at first, continuing with the Imagine Cup - the Microsoft international competition for students - where Oana and I will talk about our travel trails called Hawkeye which was appreciated by the judges and shown off at the Windows Phone Developer Blog.

Hope to see you there,

Arthur

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.
