Day 1 :-

DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper! Sydney is this year being hosted on 2nd & 3rd July. The developer conference, for developers by developers - with three tracks of great content covering a mix of ALM, Web, and general development topics from the best community and industry leaders!

On July 3rd we will offer you the opportunity to compete with others in building a proto-type application Windows Phone 7 Mango or the Kinect for Windows SDK and take out the prizes for the day.

Based on the success of last years “hands-on labs” event run during the DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper! event, and the positive feedback we received we wanted to offer a similar experience this year, but with more focus, more fun, and certainly more incentives.

Day 2 :-

It is therefore with great pleasure we are pleased to announce the a 2^nd day of DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper! Sydney that we have affectionately named the developer “Fun Day”. So what exactly are we talking about? Well on July 3^rd we have created a dedicated day of learning and coding, are ensuring that we supply you with the best mentors, exciting prizes, and the best technology that is available. So you may be asking what the challenge is. Well you have a choice of 2, which will run in parallel tracks throughout the day.

Windows Phone 7

 Get a head start on the latest releases of the developer SDK, and learn the latest features announced at MIX11. The aim of the day is to learn as much as you can about the Windows Phone 7 API, build your application, and win prizes. The day will comprise of a 70:30 split of coding vs. training with mentors on hand all day to help you out where needed.     

Get moving with Kinect

We are super excited to announce that we will also be running one of the world’s first coding challenges based on the Kinect SDK on Windows. The aim of the game is simple, find a team, learn the API, let your imagination run wild as to what this remarkable feat of technical engineering is capable of once you unleash it to your PC, the Cloud, and beyond. This track will also take a 70:30 split of coding vs. training and the team with the best proof of concept/demo at the end of the day will walk away with the prizes.

Both events have limited places and strictly first come first serve. Registration will open up on June 1^st to co-inside with general registration for the main DDD! Sydney event. We will supply you with tutors, mentors, lunch/snacks, SDK’s/software, and specialist hardware (yes we have plenty of Kinects). You will however need to bring your own laptop, mouse, power pack, and most importantly imagination!
