Windows Phone 7 developer event in Helsinki

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

Today was the first day of the Microsoft-arranged Finnish Windows Phone 7 developer event. There were about 15 developers today at the computer class in Helsinki, and all received a brand-new LG E900 phone ("Optimus 7") on their hands.

During the half-day event, I had the chance to give the audience a quick walkthrough of the development for this new platform. The attendees also had a chance to test their simple applications on a real phone (thanks JW). We will run a similar event tomorrow morning.
