TechBash Event Follow-up: Windows Phone, Azure, XNA, Oh My!

Thank you to everyone who attended my TechBash sessions last Saturday. It’s never easy to give up half a weekend to go learn cool new developer stuff and hopefully it was all worth it for you. As mentioned, all my presentation slides and demos are available for download. This will give you a chance to dig deeper into the code and techniques discussed. The slides & demo files are already available online using the links below:

• From the Hand to the Cloud–Building Windows Phone Apps & Games with Azure
  • Download the slides and demos here
  • Read about the zip file contents here (from DIDN12)
• Building Windows Phone Games in 3D with XNA

Note that you will need the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 (which is free) to play with these demos. For the Azure talk, the slide deck includes additional links.
