Come eat and chatter about cool new Microsoft technologies and whatever geeky things float your boat.

MIX10 last month had a plethora of amazing announcements for the .NET world, including Windows Phone 7 development with Silverlight and XNA, Internet Explorer 9 with support for HTML5, the Open Data Protocol (OData), new developments with Windows Azure, and more. Come check out the latest and greatest with plenty of demos!

Are you interested in what Silverlight is and what it can do? How does it compare to HTML 5? These questions and more will be answered by Microsoft Silverlight MVP Erik Mork. It's going to be a fun night of info for Silverlight beginners. Also not to be missed: a Silverlight Ninja will be designed before your eyes.

This event is follow-on from the Windows Phone 7 Unleashed Events that were held last fall. The format is less structured, and more hands-on. Whether you need help developing, architecting, pricing, integrating ads, or are just getting started, this is the place to be. Our primary goal is to help you get your app ready and submitted to the marketplace. We’re happy to share lessons learned from our own experiences (e.g. Alchemy and Soak Your Head). If you find yourself to have been inspired by MIX and just want to get together and hack a cool app, we’re more than happy to jump in and help you with that as well.

This is the place to be, whether you're new and want to learn, or want the latest info on what's coming in the "Mango" release.

NOTE: Devices will be available for testing your apps.
NOTE: A light lunch and snacks will be provided.

Please join us Tuesday night for the PADNUG December meet-up!

This month, Kelly White will be presenting on Windows Phone development with HTML5 and PhoneGap.

WHERE: Intel Hawthorne Farms 3 (HF3) 5200 NE Elam Young Pkwy Hillsboro, OR 97124 Map: http://binged.it/IntelHF3Map

WHEN: Tuesday 12/6/2011 6:00 p.m. Pizza 6:30 p.m. Presentation ~8:30 p.m. After Words at On the Border Mexican Grill

WHO: Kelly is the principal of Silvertail Software, which specializes in software consulting and product development for Silverlight, mobile, and cloud-based applications. He co-founded the Portland Silverlight User Group and Portland Windows Phone User Group with Erik Mork. Kelly is a regular guest on the show "This Week in Silverlight" on the Sparkling Client podcast, and presents regularly at User Groups and Code Camps throughout the Pacific Northwest on Silverlight and Windows Phone 7.

TOPIC: Nitobi and Microsoft announced that the HTML5-powered cross-platform mobile application development framework known as PhoneGap now supports Windows Phone 7 “Mango” devices. With PhoneGap developers can write their application once and target iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and now Windows Phone. This announcement doesn’t preclude the end of native development. Rather it gives us the range of development options that match the variety of our business models and needs. During this session I’ll be providing background on PhoneGap and other HTML5 mobile frameworks. We’ll talk about why and when it makes sense to choose these over a native approach. There will be code, there will be demos, and we’ll see how well this can shine on an actual device.
