Microsoft hosts IE9 and WP7 Boot Camps

Posted by Rob Lewis on 2011-03-17 4:07:00 PM

Internet Explorer 9 and Windows Phone 7 are two Microsoft technologies that have taken a lot of people by surprise. People expected them to be mere incremental releases rather than what they were: complete re-thinks of their predecessors.

IE9 brought serious web standards compliance and hardware acceleration to Internet Explorer, and WP7 was a complete from-the-ground-up reworking of the way Microsoft did phones. For many people, IE9 and WP7 are unknown territory and Microsoft wants to change that.

Internet Explorer 9’s scheduled for general release soon, and Windows Phone is due for a couple of updates this year, so there’s never been a better time to get up to speed on these two technologies.

Microsoft is holding the following FREE boot camps in cities across Canada to help you get the most out of both.
