I suppose it’s about time for me to write a short post-event summary report of Windows Phone Code Camp where I have participated as a coach and lecturer.
As a lecturer I have delivered two Windows Phone related speeches: first one was about Sensors&Location Services(covering topics like Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Compass, Motion, A-GPS) and second about Execution Model&Storing Data.
Of course, coaching and mentoring were two of the most major challenges for this event. There were a lot of different questions, some of them were really tricky. For the first time in my life I have seen an application developed using Visual Basic.NET. That is definitely something you won’t see every day. Each of the teams have shown a strong passion for Windows Phone platform and bringing their unique ideas to life. Winner application (“Tee Info”, “Road Information”) was using Location Services(GPS) to calculate your current speed and displayed an alert in case you were approaching any of speed cameras on the road driving over the allowed speed limit.
I think that Code Camp was a huge success for our developer and Windows Phone community. I hope that each of the applications will reach the marketplace very soon. I would like to thank all the organizers, participants and fellow mentors for this great event!
