Learning WP7. Step 1: Imagine

I have already developed and delivered introductory training to Windows Phone 7 development. And it worked pretty well for .NET developers that attended it. I started it with...

When you are learning the new platform, you usually start with capabilities, tools and etc. One can create a large presentation on the topic and most trainers do. But what could be learned from it?

I did platform presentation too, but my focus is on learning. And learning means "being capable of something new".

Take away.

Attendees will have a practical task of imagining themselves almighty WP7 developer and describing the projects they would have implemented with platform capabilities. Real value:

• Project management practice of developing vision/scope document,
• Deeper understanding of platform capabilities,
• Training focus - have a project in mind will focus on required things to learn,
• Collaboration: share project descriptions in OneNote (for example) and people will communicate and discuss,
• Free ideas for future training tasks already described and evaluated.
