Blendin #WP7Dev – #SFCC using Expression Blend 4 building FLA Code Camp App

Hey Now Everybody,

7th Annual South Florida Code Camp is going to be a stellar event. The event is totally free. There are over 800 people registered; over 70 training session to choose from, free food all day & many raffles including giving a XBox 360 Kinnect! Here is the FLA.NET Code Campe home page; along with two twitter tags #SFCC & #FLDEV.

My session this year is ‘Blendin WP7Dev’ where we’ll go use Microsoft Expression Blend 4 & VS10 to build a Windows Phone 7 app & submit it to the marketplace! The app we build is going to be the ‘Florida .NET Code Camp app’! Including a way to obtain information about the 6 code camps around our state.

Here is a picture from last year:

There is also a nice set of video’s on my YouTube channel from a previous year.

The people at the code camp are the best. It’s so fun to meet new people & see many of my old friends. The training sessions are super too. It’s amazing all this cutting edge education is all free. The list of speakers is impressive check it out below including links to their home pages & twitters:

Here is some of the XMAL code generated by Expression Blend 4:

        <Style x:Key="btnSFCC2" TargetType="Button">
            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
                        <Grid>
                            <Rectangle RadiusY="33" RadiusX="33" Stroke="Black">
                                <Rectangle.Fill>
                                    <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
                                        <GradientStop Color="#FF1A24BE" Offset="0"/>
                                        <GradientStop Color="White" Offset="1"/>
                                    </LinearGradientBrush>
                                </Rectangle.Fill>
                            </Rectangle>
                            <ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" Content="SFCC"/>
                        </Grid>
                    </ControlTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>

So There we have it; South Florida Code Camp & ‘Blendin WP7Dev’! If you can’t make the camp look for the app on the Windows Phone.
