Windows Phone 7 Series at GDC

Made it to GDC, and I have to say it’s been great hearing buzz around Windows Phone already! We’ve got some great big banners up (as you can see), and between dinner last night and just getting coffee this morning I’ve had five folks ask about where they can get more information about making games for Windows Phone at the show. Figured I’d put a little something up here I could point people to.

For one, definitely check out a great post Michael just put up, where he talks a bit about XNA Game Studio 4.0. I’ll also steal a quote from him to point you to Shawn Hargreave’s blog, where you can find a great deal more information on developing with XNA.

I’m excited to finally be able to talk to you all about XNA Game Studio 4.0 and Windows Phone 7 Series. If you’re new to XNA Game Studio learn more at http://creators.xna.com and get some details from http://ShawnHargreaves.com who has a great collection of information to get you started.

Finally, I’ll point you to an earlier post I did about our Windows Phone sessions at GDC. The short form is that we have the following four sessions, information about which can be found here:

• Developing Games for Windows Phone 7 Series*
• High Performance 3D Games on Windows Phone 7 Series*
• Development and Debugging Tools for Windows Phone 7 Series*
• Bringing the Best of Xbox LIVE to Windows Phone 7 Series*

* These sessions are repeated during the main conference Thursday March 11th through Saturday March 13th.

Off to a busy day of meetings and sessions! About to see Gareth Davis of Facebook at his “How Friends Change Everything” session – will be interesting to see how Facebook is thinking about Social Gaming.
