About Matt

Matt is a freelance mobile software developer specialising in Windows Phone. He’s been developing software for a living since the 90’s and doing mobile since before it was cool and has developed a number of showcase apps for household names. When not building apps he’s helping other people do so on StackOverflow or getting people together to learn more about developing software as he runs DevEvening and the Windows Phone User Group.

The Talk

You’ve probably heard that you can use lots of your .net development experience to build Windows Phone applications. But that still leaves lots of questions: What if you want to go beyond the basics? How do you make a great app? One that people will want to download and maybe even pay for?  How does the mango update help you create a great app? And how can knowing about developing for Windows Phone help with developing for other platforms, such as Windows 8?

These and other question will be answered to help you create awesome apps.

The date is 11th January 2012. The meeting will be in the Maxima Forum in Cheltenham, start at 6.30pm and end at about 9pm. There will be refreshments and hot pizza available. Please arrive in time. Details here.
