This was a great talk to demo a tool that will take a pwr pt slide show and turn it into a basis for an app!! Amazing. The talks are very inspiring and shows me that it is possible to get into the App"game" quickly.

Fantastic. Kevin does a tremendous job with the lectures. Had no idea what a MS Phone tile was. Very powerful UI concept for the next wave of apps. Much better than a static icon. The industry hasn't figured that out yet. Best mobile lecture/class/format I have ever seen. This series is much much better than the 3 day iphone $1k-$2k classes offered in SF. Very good technical content. Didn't realize the breadth of the Visual Studio/Expression blend tools. You cant get that from a web search, only when you see someone use it.

This was the best presentation so far for experienced Windows Phone developers.
Having the samples available on flash drives was helpful.

Thanks!
