What’s a “Jump Start” Course? | Training specifically designed for experienced developers and technologists whose jobs demand they know how to best leverage new, emerging Microsoft technologies. These advanced courses assume a certain level of expertise and domain knowledge, so they move quickly and cover topics in a fashion that enables teams to effectively map new skills to real-world situations. Jump Starts combine timely, real-world content on new technology with engaging and often humorous delivery from expert and charismatic presenters.
Hope to see you there!
Hi,
Just now I finished seeing your Session 1 video of your WP7 Jump Start. I was planning to see few more but I heard that there will be videos for 'Mango' update. Will there be big changes when it comes to App development? Shall I wait till the tutorials for Mango are out or continue watching the existing videos?
Hi Everyone Here are some of the key announcements from Microsoft week ending 14th August. Recent
@Kumar no, you do not need to wait. Most of the updated videos already assume you have watched the first set. You need a pretty good foundation to 'get' the new features.
The sessions are very, very well done and I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn WP7 development.
