October 12th will be the Windows Phone 7 Developer Launch. There's an MSDN Simulcast event you can sign up for, that'll be a full day of training on writing Windows Phone apps.

In the US, there are also a lot of live in-person Free Events to learn Windows Phone 7 Development listed at http://www.msdnevents.com/wp7devlaunch. I encourage you to register now as they are filling up fast.

A friend asked me to put a Windows Phone 7 banner on my blog, and I said half-jokingly, what'll you give me? Then I realized it's less interesting if there's a banner on MY blog and more interesting if there's a banner on YOUR blog.

So, I brokered a deal where two of you (US only for now, sorry, I seriously tried) will win a free Windows Phone 7.

Here's the legal rules they wrote, but here's my four-step layman's version.

1. Go get a Windows Phone 7 banner or badge
2. Put the image on your blog
3. Link the image to http://www.msdnevents.com/wp7devlaunch/
4. Lie in wait

Now, they'll use Bingle/Gobing and a link: query to find two of you randomly, I'm sure, but even better, after you've done it, add a comment on this post and Iet everyone know!

Within 10 days after the final Windows Phone 7 developer launch event, they'll select TWO folks randomly. Your odds are good, friend. Like way less than 1 in a billion. We shall see. Go Go Go!

Everything is better if you put the word "naked" in front of it. Is that the case with "Naked Objects?" Richard Pawson wrote his PhD thesis on "Naked Objects." Scott sits down to chat with Richard about the framework. Too complex? Too simple? How does Naked Objects apply in today's object oriented systems and what does it learn from yesterday's?

Scott talks to Colin Miller about the .NET Micro Framework. It's a "tiny CLR" that runs in as little as 64k! He explains how it started with the SPOT Watch (remember that) and how it's grown to an Open Source project under the Apache 2.0 license with a broad ecosystem and dozens of hardware boards available from partners.

Check out my other posts an videos on the .NET Micro Framework, as well as related Arduino posts.

Scott chats with Eric Sink from SourceGear about DVCS (Distributed Version Control Systems). How bad IS SourceSafe? What kinds of things should you think about when moving to more modern source control system like SVN? Then what about moving to a proper distributed system? Mercurial vs. Git and more.
