Update:

 Just a quick update to let you know that our presenter for tonight’s event had to cancel due to a family emergency.  Instead of having a presentation style event, we’ll switch gears to a more casual evening of dinner and networking.  I have tons of door prizes so we still plan on raffling those off.  See you soon!

Come explore Windows Phone 7 and XNA Games! 

Chris G. Williams will be presenting ‘A Tour of Windows Phone 7 and XNA 4.0′.  In this talk, he’ll cover what’s new in XNA 4.0, especially as it pertains to Windows Phone 7.  He’ll cover phone features, using the emulator and how to take advantage of the various sensors (like the Accelerometer) and features (MultiTouch, Gestures, etc) in your games. Rumor has it, he may even have a phone with him.
