Tonight I had the pleasure of speaking at the Portland Silverlight User Group meeting. My topic was Windows Phone 7 Hello World using MVVM Light (In the trenches).
I did what every speaker talking about code avoids. I wrote some code in front of everyone. I think everyone would agree that restarting the Windows Phone 7 emulator between each application deploy takes some time. So, when you are debugging phone applications from Visual Studio or Blend, try to remember that you don’t have to restart the emulator. =)
