I’m going to be doing a roadshow around Ireland talking about Windows 8 and Windows Phone development. Come join me for a lap around Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 development. In this whirlwind afternoon, I’ll pack in a ton of content.

I’ll kick off with a look at the most exciting development opportunities in the market right now – Windows 8 and Windows Phone.

Then I’ll step into the how with the essential things that you need to know about developing on Windows 8 including an overview of the development languages, compatibility with other platforms and making your app really stand out in the crowd with the deep integration into the Windows 8 platform.

Next I’ll dive into Windows Phone 8 and ensure that you have a good grasp on the platform left to right ranging from sharing code with Windows 8 to developing HTML5 based games to hijacking the camera and providing some outstanding lens support.

And I’ll finish up by talking about how to backend all of these applications with a robust restful service accessible from any platform hosted on the Azure platform with the Azure Mobile Web Services.

This is happening on the back of the partner roadshow which will be in the mornings and I’m hitting the afternoons.
