Bring your laptop so you can enjoy the experience.
The next 3 days (May 31 to June 2) will be for the main conference. On my side, i’ll be presenting on the first day May 31st at 9h30. I will talk about “What you should know about Windows Phone 7 Development”. So i will demonstrate some of the new feature of the upcoming Mango update. I will also go through some of my real experience as a WP7 developer on some issue you may face and how to resolve them. So i hope to see you there.
On Friday June 3rd, there will be a post-conference days which will focus on Windows Phone 7, Sharepoint 2010 and Agile Development.

Have you ever create an application where you want to share resources between them but you had to create multiple libraries to because those project use different compiler? If your like this often happen. In my case we face that issue. To solve the issue we had to create multiple libraries and refer class using linked files in the project. This is what we have to do in some project where we have a Silverlight 4 app and a Windows Phone 7 app. But this is not the most efficient way to do it.
Microsoft is now offering a solution for that kind of issue. The solution is called Portable Library, which is currently in CTP. So now you can create a single class library in which you can select which kind of project it should be compatible with. You should give it a look, because this may help you solve many issue and save times related with having common class libraries for multiple technologies.
