I’m speaking on Tuesday along with Chris Hallberg from Microsoft at the Bentley Business Networks alumni event. The theme for the evening is “Business Transformation: The Impact of Cloud Computing.”

I’m leading a workshop at ISECON 2011 in Wilmington on Creating Windows Mobile Phone Apps. The workshop will be held on Friday, November 4, from 9:30 am to 11:55 a.m. This post is primarily intended for participants, as it contains instructions on what to bring, read, download, sign up for, and do to prior to the workshop.
Learn how to create mobile applications for the Windows Phone 7 platform using Visual Basic and C# in just a few hours. By the end of this workshop, you will create and customize a phone app template developed by the presenter that combines information from your school’s Web site, RSS feeds, and other online sources to create a phone app for your school. Best of all, you don’t need to write a single line of source code to do this! You will also learn how to submit your apps to the Microsoft Marketplace. For those with some programming experience, we will review application code to interact with RSS feeds, display maps, and invoke Web services. We will also introduce Silverlight markup for designing a mobile application’s user interface. For those with no programming experience, we will also present web-based development tools to create mobile applications on iPhone, Droid, and Windows Phone 7 platforms.
Details about software and setup after the jump.

I’m speaking on May 12 at the Campus Technology Virtual 2011 Conference.
Speaking to campus educators is not new for me. What’s new about this experience is that I’ll be doing it without leaving the office. It’s not often that I present online. It will be interesting to see how an audience reacts to a speaker they see in only on their computer screen.
There’s a great lineup, with Anne Moore, Trent Batson, Gardner Campbell, and Sherry Turkle also offering an hour to present at this virtual conference.
Sign up to join us.
I’ve been speaking on this topic lately. Here’s the version of the talk I gave at Cengage’s Technology Forums and will present at the Orlando Conference next month.
