Topic
An Introduction to Windows Phone 7 Development
Abstract
This session will cover how to get started developing applications for the Windows Phone 7 platform. We’ll cover using both Visual Studio 2010 as well as Expression Blend 4, and walk through the entire process of designing, constructing, and deploying an app to the Windows Phone Marketplace. At the end of this presentation, you should understand how simple building powerful (and profitable) applications can be.

Grok Talk Topic
Should
Abstract
Should is an open-source library which provides a testing-framework-agnostic set of unit test assertions. It also includes fluent extensions which provide a natural-language interface for consuming the assertions. The library is portable between unit testing frameworks, and the fluent extensions are well-suited to test-driven and behavior-driven testing methodologies.
