Handling Multi-Touch with Windows Phone 7 (Ben Dewey)

In this presentation Ben Dewey will demonstrate the ways to handle multi-touch on the Windows Phone. We will start with an introduction of basic touch-enabled events, then Ben will show and explain common use cases like panning and zooming images, drawing and object gestures. Participants are expected to have some preexisting knowledge with developing on either the Windows Phone, Silverlight, or WPF. Ben Dewey is a Senior Software Developer at Tallan Inc. in New York and is a committer for the Apache Incubator Stonehenge project. He has over 11 years of web development experience and has recently worked on projects using Web Services, REST, WCF, jQuery, Silverlight, and WPF. Ben has launched two apps to the Windows Phone Marketplace, one of which, WordSwipe, is available to try free. Ben strives to create connected system with well defined roles without sacrificing the richness of the user experience.
