Registration Required! It's a BYOL event.

Windows Phone 7 is about to be released! Come check out Windows Phone 7 Unleashed for everything you need to know to develop for WP7. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or you’re just starting with .NET development, there’s something in it for you.

The first half of this deep dive event is lecture and hands on lab. At the half point mark of the day, you’ll have a solid foundation for building WP7 applications.

ELC Technologies would like to invite you and a guest to a holiday party celebrating the upcoming launch of our cloud service solution, Maasive. Join us for FREE beer, FREE pizza, live demos on mobile programming with Maasive, and the chance to take home a hoodie at the end of the night!

Maasive is a mobile development platform unlike any other. We've developed an easy way for you to add cloud functionality to your iOS, Android and Windows Phone applications, including native object storage, push alerts, analytics and other services. Compared to other frameworks Maasive is easy to use and more flexible even across multiple platforms. And it's backed by ELC's unique history developing robust, scalable cloud based mobile apps for Fortune 500 companies.

Maasive is free during the beta period, and we're looking for YOUR feedback to help us make it even more reliable and easy to use. Come chat with us during the party and we'll set you up with your own account and show you how to integrate Maasive in your application. In the meantime, if you want to see how easy it is to get started check out this three minute screencast: http://vimeo.com/28125533

The party starts at 6pm December 14th, at Lucky Lab Brew Pub on 1945 NW Quimby Street. Hope to see you there!

P.S.- If anyone is interested in trying Maasive but can't attend, just send an email to [email protected] and I'll make sure you're set up with a user account and the SDK.

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: Microsoft has finally pulled back the curtain and revealed what’s coming this fall with Windows Phone 8 (codenamed Apollo). This is going to be exciting - there’s native development, in-app-purchases, a new shared core with WinRT, true enterprise LOB support, and much more. I’ll be breaking down the new features and be sharing my strategy for getting started, and how to prepare for Win8/WinPhone8 shared development. Finally I’ll be answering all your questions regarding the upgrade story.

We’re having a FREE day of training for Windows Phone Development on October 11, 2013. From 8am to 5pm you’ll learn what it takes to get started, what’s needed for success, what pitfalls to avoid, and what opportunities are available to you. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a seasoned developer, whether you’ve already published apps or are looking to build your first one, what you will learn is guaranteed to inspire. Seating is limited so register now.

Get FREE training and expert help to build and publish your apps for Windows devices.

Are you finally ready to start developing for mobile devices? Perhaps you're interested in learning what's new in Windows Phone 8.1 and how to build universal apps that can be published in both the Windows and Windows Phone Stores? The Portland Windows Phone Day will help you get your app closer to completion and get that much closer to putting the app in the store. In fact we expect many developers will have their application already uploaded to the store by the end of the day.

While previous events have focused around "learning" to build for Windows and Windows Phone, the focus of this event is geared towards doing the work and helping you "publish" your apps. Whether you’re a first-time developer, or a seasoned pro who wants to take advantage of new features in Windows Phone 8.1, this event is for you.
