After much procrastination, I started to create my first Windows Phone 7 application this week. To be honest I did not think it would be an easy task given that it has been quite a while since I last opened visual studio to code something(much of my time has been spent admiring apps written by the amazing Imagine cup competitors;-)). Well, but I decided to take the plunge, and to my complete surprise I wrote my first app in flat 15 minutes. Hence this blog post, coz I believe my example should inspire several others to start writing apps for the new and upcoming Windows Phone 7 platform using cool technologies such as Silverlight and XNA. Let me walk you through the steps I took to get started – 1. The first thing I had to do was of course to download the much talked about tools for Windows Phone 7.

The day has finally arrived. The Singapore contingent is headed to Poland tonight for the Imagine Cup 2010 worldwide finals. How many people this year are traveling to Poland to represent Singapore besides myself? 7 students and 2 faculty. We also have a judge from Singapore (Gwendolyn, from Thymos Capital and SGEntrepreneurs) who has reached there today for pre-event briefings. The excitement and anxiety is at its peak, and we all hope to give it our best! If you would like to follow what’s happening to us over there during this week, we will be posting updates at our Imagine Cup Singapore Facebook Page as well as tweeting on our Innovative Singapore Twitter feed. Make sure you follow us! There will also be LIVE streaming of the awards ceremony on July 8th at 4 pm GMT on the Imagine Cup homepage, so you can experience everything as it happens. For those of you who are timezone-challenged like myself, it’s 12 midnight here in Singapore on July 8th. :) Wish us luck! ...
