Anthony, Kim and Suganthi have put together a Windows Phone 7 App to track CodeMash 2012 (www.codemash.org) sessions.  Version 1.0 is available in the marketplace : CodeMash MarketPlace App Link

Version 1.1 (updates, fixes) is pending certification. We hope this update will be certified in time for codemash but if you have a developer unlocked phone we encourage you to download Version 1.1 which includes some bug fixes and feature adds.

Update -> CodeMash V 1.1 is now available in the marketplace.

We will celebrate Ineta’s 10th Birthday with some cool giveaways and also take a look at the App Submission Process. After building the CodeMash App, the next application to be designed is for CodePalousa.

We will be celebrating INETA’s 10th birthday at the Feb 9th meeting! See this link for details on Ineta turning 10 -> http://www.ineta.org/birthday/

There will be no Jan meeting as our meeting date coincides with CodeMash (www.codemash.org). As most of us will be attending codemash we might hold the session at CodeMash itself!!

Bill Steele is back and this time he is going to cover the MakerBot!. MakerBot is a 3D printer and Bill is going to demonstrate how these awesome machines can print just about anything! Want to see a 3D printer in action? Please RSVP as seating is limited. LetsXNA.Org

We built a simple application to read the session list. This session we will build a speaker list and tie the two together.

Its coding time.  By the end of this session we should have a functional conference applicaion that lets us

a) View Sessions

b) View Speakers

c) Navigate from Session to speaker and back.

In our October meeting we sat down to code a Conference application on Windows Phone 7 and Android by using the previous years session and speaker list from codemash which is coming up on Jan 13th.

It was fun to code together and learn together and we are going to continue that next session.
