Also presenting this year is Laurent Bugnion, the father of the awesome MVVM Light framework.

Hi,

My name is Nico, I’m an MCP living in Belgium.
I’m currently employed as a consultant in the Mobile Solution Center at RealDolmen, one of Belgium’s leading IT single source providers, where I focus on Windows Phone and Windows 8 development.

I'm also founding member and board member of the Belgian Metro App Developer Network, a user group focussed on Windows 8 and Windows Phone development. If you're in Belgium feel free to drop by if we're doing an event. http://www.madn.be

Since June 2012 I'm a proud member of Microsoft's Extended Experts Team Belgium. And in February 2013 I became a member of DZone's Most Valuable Bloggers family.

This blog will be about Windows Phone 7, C#, XNA , WPF, Silverlight, and much more!

I hope to get feedback from my readers either through comments, mail (nico_vermeir@hotmail.com), twitter, facebook, …
