Back in July, we put together 12 hours worth of live training on Windows Phone 7 that over 1,000 of you attended. We then released it in August as a series of videos to get you up to speed on all you needed to know for Windows Phone 7 application development. As it turns out, a few things have changed since then and not only that, 12 hours of content still didn't allow us to go as deep as we would have liked on certain topics. So what's a good solution? More free training, of course!

Join us next Tuesday, September 21 for 7 hours of live training to cover topics like Panorama & Pivots, Bing Maps, XNA, Planning & Optimizing for Performance, and Design using Microsoft Blend. Plus, there will be a live Q&A with lots of Windows Phone 7 Microsoft employees.

While any developer interested in Windows Phone 7 app development is invited to attend, for those who weren't able to attend the first training event back in July, we recommend you get up to speed on the basics by checking out the 12 hours of content available on demand (also available via Zune MarketpaceZune.net, and iTunes). Free corresponding course materials can be found here (which will also be the location for the new course materials coming out soon for the Windows Phone 7 Advanced Topics training).

The date and times for these course sessions are the following:

  • September 21, 2010 – 8am to 11am (PST): Session One
  • September 21, 2010 – 12pm to 4pm (PST): Session Two

Space is limited, so go register for the course now
