Charles Petzold on Programming Windows Phone 7
Charles Petzold on Programming Windows Phone 7
As an author and contributor to nearly two dozen books and countless magazine articles on Windows programming (and as a pioneer in early electronic music), Charles Petzold is a true "rock star" in every sense of the term. A Microsoft MVP for Client Application Development and a Windows Pioneer Award winner, Petzold's latest work, Programming Windows Phone 7, was published by Microsoft Press in December 2010.
In this episode, host Julie Lerman shows us Charles Petzold as we've never seen him before. Charles talks about his first experiences with smartphones, and gives us his take on e-books. He then goes on to tell us some of the seminal events that led him to his chosen path, and of the many influences in his life that have lent to his one-of-a-kind writing style. He offers a rare glimpse into his writing process, recounts how his highly acclaimed The Annotated Turing came to be, and reveals some of the other subjects he is keen to write about in the coming months and years. After listening, you will come to know Charles Petzold as a man who has much, much more to teach us than how to program.
