"The gaming sector has proven to be resilient. But only a relatively small percentage — about 18% — of the workers in the gaming industry are women or minorities."

    Microsoft unveils Windows 7 developer tools at MIX 10 developers event

    AuthorMichael Lang Date03.15.2010

    Microsoft unveiled today at their MIX 10 conference free versions of its core development tools for their Windows 7 smartphones, all designed with hopes of developers rapidly developing apps for the Windows 7 phone app platform. Developers who've developed natives apps for the Windows Mobile platform in the past, will unfortunately have to rebuild their application(s) from scratch running in the Silverlight runtime environment for Windows 7 smartphones.

    Charlie Kindel, manager of Microsoft's Windows Phone App Platform and Developer Experience program, had this to say about the Windows 7 app platform in a phone interview with Wired.com:

    "We've revamped just about every aspect of how we build phone software, ranging from how we think about customers to how we do the engineering for the product."
