Great news, just heard that I have two sessions accepted for both of these learning events.  Here are the details:

Developing for Windows Phone 7 Series with Silverlight

Track / Area:	Developer / Mobile
Technology:	Windows Phone, Silverlight
General / Specific Experience Level:	Intermediate / Beginner

Windows Phone development with 6.5 and previous versions was not the easiest transition to make from desktop client development – see how any Silverlight developer can now share code with desktop based Silverlight applications and be able to target Windows Phone 7 with minimal changes.  In this session we will go over a few demo applications, build a simple application and discuss what is not available on the Phone stack (in the CTP release) that is available in the Silverlight 3/4 for the Desktop and how to plan for differences in your application and security models.
