Speaking at MS Network in Teslić

Yes, I know, I don’t write enough here – but what can I do? I have such an interesting job I don’t have time to write about it more. I have like ten topics in the pipeline, but… first things first. Next week I’ll be at the MSNetwork conference in Teslić, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I […]

Speaking at Vizija 10 in Skopje, Macedonia

So, I’ll be in Skopje at Vizija next week to talk a bit about Windows Phone. It is a hard thing to do these days, since we don’t know everything about the future version (launching on the Oct 29th), but we are allowed to know enough to make two sessions out of it. Windows Phone […]
