FREE EVENT - LIMITED SPACES

The Windows Phone Camps are events which will show you how to build great Windows Phone apps. You can work on your own projects with assistance from our Windows Phone MVPs, network with others and also have the option of attending short tutorial sessions on Windows Phone related topics. If you are new to Windows Phone, this is the ideal event for you as you will have the opportunity to understand the general approach and capabilities of Windows Phone development.
 
The Windows Phone Camps will cover an introductory design session as well as a range of short tutorial sessions. The short tutorial sessions will include topics such as Introduction to Windows Phone Development, Controls & Control Toolkit, Execution Model, Storing Data, Launchers & Choosers, Accessing Cloud Services, Marketplace & Submission. Also, there will be informal Mango tutorial sessions on offer covering topics such as Multi-tasking, Debugging & Profiling, Motion API, Advertising SDK and Sockets.

Representatives from Nokia will be available to discuss Nokia devices, services and developer outreach initiatives.

What to expect at the upcoming UK Windows Phone Camps?
 
If you are the few lucky ones who have scored a seat, here is a quick preview of what is in store for you!
 
Registration kicks off at 8:30am so you can make your way to the venue as we will start promptly at 9am. After a brief introduction to the day, we will encourage everyone to join a session focused on design and user journey for Windows Phone. The design of an app is often overlooked so we hope to provide you with the fundamentals to not only design for Windows Phone but design in general so you can better navigate your way to an app that delivers a fantastic user experience.
 
Then, the camp opens up to two zones. The first one is the open workshop zone where you can learn and work at your own pace with guided help from our trainers from Appamundi. You can also meet other windows phone developers and find out what they are up to. The second one is the tutorial zone where a number of short tutorial sessions can be requested on-demand throughout the day which will also be delivered by the trainers from Appamundi. You are encouraged to make the most of both zones and choose what you want to do as the day progresses. Whether you are completely new to Windows Phone or you have a few questions around getting started, you can get what you need in one of the two zones.
 
Of course, we will have snacks and drinks throughout the day to keep you energised and some giveaways and prizes.
