Techdays is back for 2010 and this year Windows Phone 7 is coming along for the ride!  Microsoft has invited me back for the third year to deliver all the Windows Phone 7 developer sessions for TechDays 2010 across Canada similar to TechDays 2008 and TechDays 2009.  What’s different this year? Windows Phone 7!!

I’ll be delivering two developer focused sessions on building for Windows Phone 7 using Silverlight on days 1 and 2.  You will learn the basics of developing for Windows Phone 7 and some of the unique concepts developing for Windows Phone 7.  I’ll also be hanging out and talking Windows Phone 7 with attendees.  I’ll also have a real device!

Here are the cities and dates we will be hitting:

Dates

• Vancouver: Sept 14 - 15
• Edmonton: Oct 5 – 6

Cost

$349.99+tax for early bird pricing which is available 6 weeks prior to the date at the specific city.  If it’s after the six week cut off the regular price is $699+tax.

If you are not interested in Windows Phone 7 (and don’t see why not!) there are six tracks to choose from.

1. Developing for Three Screens & the Cloud
