Ahoy!

Our February 2012 Meetup is scheduled for February 20th from 6PM to 8PM @ TechColumbus. Please see details below & kindly RSVP.

Topic:
The 31 Demos of Windows Phone Mango!

Abstract:
This session will be a fast-paced look at some of the new development features available to you on the Windows Phone 7.5 platform. This will include the gyroscope, the camera API, tile updates and 28 more examples. Getting 10 demos packed into a session is generally unheard of. Getting 31 of them is insane. Come see Jeff Blankenburg have tremendous success, or fall flat on his face. In either case, you’re certain to see something entertaining.
