That’s when the Windows Marketplace for Mobile will begin accepting applications created by… well, YOU!

In case you haven’t heard, the Windows Marketplace for Mobile will come with every Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. So if you’re a Windows Mobile developer, you can more easily get your apps to all those customers. And before the year is done, all users with Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1 phones will get the Marketplace, too. That’s a lot of potential Windows phones for your apps.

In the video, Todd Brix from the Windows Mobile team covers the news and shows you a quick Marketplace demo. You can find more details over on the Windows Mobile blog. ]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/MaxZuck/WindowsMarketplaceForMobile Mark your calendars, everyone: July 27, 2009.

It’s the Visual Studio Learning pack… and it’s ready for you to download.

This pack allows you to interactively step through concepts like sorting where you can visually represent the steps taken to algorithmically perform a sort. Pretty cool stuff.

My favorite part was the ability to have complicated arrays automatically constructed for me with the proper syntax with just a few clicks. This is a great teaching tool for instructors or for private use. Even experts may want that around just in case Tongue Out.
