Windows Phone in Brno

 

There are some great places to wander round here, and some superb pavement cafes.

Today we spent the morning wandering round Brno and then in the afternoon I went out to give a couple of Windows Phone talks.

As usual I took a picture of the folks who turned up, there is another on Flickr which shows the rest of the room. The talk was great, really good audience. You can find slide decks and demo programs for the two sessions here. The sessions you want are the Introduction to Silverlight (02) and  Introduction to XNA (11). The decks are part of the Windows Phone Jumpstart series, you can find decks on lots of other interesting Windows Phone topics as well.  In a little while there will be some videos as well.

After the talk we went out for a drink and then headed for a walk around Brno by night.

Enjoying a drink..

The bar had these really cool speakers

These folks were really (and I mean really) good.

Thanks for doing such a great job of guiding us around folks, it was a really splendid evening.

Yesterday I was on your talk in Brno Microsoft innovation Center and you have really inspired me to write some apps (or maybe games later) for Windows Phone. I envy your students to have a teacher with such a sense of humor:) And by the way..your cheese joke was fine, but here in Czech Republic and also in Slovakia (if needed in the future) we spell Edam as Eidam, so maybe that was the reason why the audience was a little bit confused with "cheese which is made backwards":) I wish you all the best in creating your cheese games and in your teaching career:)

I also really enjoyed your speek in Brno, yesterday. I appreciate your enthusiasm for Windows Mobile 7 and sense of humor which made great experience from your speek even for developers who are working with the C#, Silverlight etc. for years. I wanted to learn something of XNA before, but I never found time for it, so any information about XNA you gave us was completely new for me.

Thank you and enjoy the rest of stay in the Czech Republic.
