I’m sitting in on the Windows Mobile 7 Session featuring Joey Devilla and Paul Leberge. Joey has just demonstrated that the emulator is completely compatible with 4-point touch so that you can begin creating Windows Phone 7 Series 7 Applications without having the hardware. This emulator and the full IDE is available on the Windows Phone Developer Portal, FREE-AS-IN-BEER. The Windows Phone has been completely rehashed in order to focus on the users needs with a smart design and Integrat...

I’m sitting in the front row of #WebNotWar, an Open Source Development Conference based on the Windows Platform. This is truly my first ever live blog, that I will be posting at the end of this session, so I hope enjoy the content. “The Web and Website Development is still a child, we’re still in the dark of what the web will provide, however our flashlight is getting bigger”.

It’s an exciting time with the release of Visual Studio 2010, .NET 4 and ASP.NET MVC 2. I made the move to rewriting my Azure Email Queuer Application to ASP.NET MVC and leveraging some Telerik ASP.NET MVC Extension Controls to kick up the project a little bit. In making this move it made it necessary to upgrade from the default Guest OS for my Windows Azure Hosted Service.
