After earning the ultimate title in the MSP world, Microsoft Expert Student Partner, a new opportunity was offered: a Microsoft Certified Trainer training. How can one refuse that, especially that was so kindly (and free of charge) provided by Microsoft Germany?

Since I am a certified ASP .Net 3.5 professional, I started looking for jobs in this area – but almost anyone associated ASP with SharePoint. Since I didn’t had any clue about SharePoint, I enjoyed very much the opportunity to take part in a technical workshop on this theme.
As part of the Microsoft Student Partners I was invited to take part yet again from a Social Media Reporting team. This time is the CeBIT, a huge conference about consumer electronics. We arrived yesterday, on 2nd of March, to prepare ourselves for the challenge. In the morning we just scouted the area, looking for interesting places to blog, tweet and make movies about. If you haven’t been to CeBIT, you should understand that it is really HUGE – there are around 30 big display areas in which you can be lost without a map. There were a lot of […]
I am a certified SQL 2005 Technology Specialist. While this means a lot from a professional point of view, the new technologies come toward us, developers, too fast sometimes. It is quite a while since SQL 2008 was launched, and now SQL 2008 R2 brings its novelties. One good developer must keep up to date with its skills, otherwise the quality and quantity of his or hers work will suffer. New technologies means usually more productive developers – and I wish to stay on the wave instead under it.
As part of Microsoft Student Partner organisation (MSP), I am trying my best to EVANGELIZE: promote Microsoft technologies through workshops, presentations, representing the organisation in front of the students.
In my latest Windows Phone 7 workshop that I presented in UniBonn, I promised that we will have a contents. By now two people created and submitted their applications, presented here.
Back to the Student Technology Conference 2010 – second day – again I had a full schedule: attending web development session and after lunch the company startup coaching event. After a nice over-night sleep, I was full of energy to continue attending the presentations!
Microsoft Student Partner organized this weekend a very cool event, meant to make easier for the students to enroll to Imagine Cup 2010 and have also good results at it. The agenda was pretty condensed, having 3 tracks in 2 days. The tracks were wisely organized, allowing each one of us to focus on its own area of interest.
After presenting my latest WP7 workshop, I have quite a few nice impressions: all students were eager to learn, to discover, lots of questions were asked. We created a nice Twitter application based on the default Panorama template, learning about XAML and its advantages, how to use Blend to enhance the user visual experience.
We’ll have a CONTEST! It will allow all participants in the workshop to develop the Windows Phone 7 application of their dreams and compete for a Microsoft Certification voucher. The prize will allow to the lucky winner to get certified in a Microsoft technology.
So I wanted to develop for the Windows Phone device. I started humble, reading and understanding any source of information. I saw a lot of MIX conferences, blogs, webcasts. After some time I got the opportunity of having a device. Naturally, I wanted to deploy my applications on the device, having a proof that they work as they were supposed to. But this wasn’t so easy!
Because I got quite a few questions about the CIP Pool location for my latest Windows Phone 7 workshop location, I will add some clarifications: First, it is located in UniBonn on RömerStraße 164 and enter through main entrance. You have to go in Halle 5 direction and when exiting the building, you’ll see in the right a nice yellow construction, like this: Once you enter in the building (the entrance faces the Old UniBonn building), the last door on the right is the Windows Pool where we’ll meet and have fun on 26th of November. To help you easier […]
