John Zablocki: Geo-aware Applications for Windows Phone 7
This month we have John Zablocki joining us to discuss developing Geo-aware applications for Windows Phone 7.
Abstract: From Foursquare to Facebook, location based apps and services are rapidly gaining popularity. Whether it's finding nearby friends or restaurants, location is unavoidable in the mobile development space. This talk will cover the basic location APIs of WP7, including the location hardware and Bing Maps Silverlight control.
Bio: John Zablocki is a Development Manager at HealthcareSource in Woburn, MA. He is the founder of Beantown ALT.NET and former adjunct at Fairfield University in the Dolan School of Business. John holds an M.S. in Computer Science from Rensselaer, where he became an enthusiast of open source technologies. Online, John can be found at http://about.me/johnzablocki. Offline, he can be found too infrequently with his dog, daughter, and his Martin acoustic.

A question was asked last night about roaming charges when using the GPS overseas. This article on Lifehacker (and everything else I've read) seems to imply that GPS use doesn't incur charges - http://lifehacker.com/5604679/use-your-smartphones-gps-in...
. However, if you do as the article suggests, you'll only be able to pull location data from WiFi or GPS, which is probably OK...Posted November 11, 2011 at 10:18 AM -
