I greatly enjoyed the Codestock conference this year. The new venue is definitely a move in the right direction. Downtown Knoxville is a fantastic area – at least once I got oriented and discovered Market Street.
I mentioned several tools during my Advanced Windows Phone 7 development talk. Here are the links:
To replace the default Windows Phone image with unlocked WP7 image (build 6176), follow this link: http://www.multiupload.com/POF771XDFD . Drop the image into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\WindowsPhone\v7.0\Emulation\Images and rename it wm70C1.bin .

I also want to point everyone to a fantastic resource for learning Windows Phone Silverlight development I recently discovered. It is Roberto Brunetti’s blog. It is in Italian but is nevertheless fairly easy to follow thanks to his excellent use of images and code samples: http://thinkmobile.it/blogs/rob/ .
Reasonable statement you produce in Thank you Codestock. Interesting to read the post and alternative thoughts composed by participants on some other websites.Tell it as you witness it – that is the trusted approach.
Detailed item and argument on Thank you Codestock. Not everyone can possess the same opinions or experience. I suppose I am in line with with this blogs positioning. There is no smoke without a fire and in that respect there are no comments without articles.
