Microsoft supports National Electronics Week

National Electronics Week 2010 will take place from 18-19 May at Birmingham's NEC.

The Microsoft Windows Embedded Hands-On Lab will provide an opportunity for companies and developers that either use or want to learn more about Microsoft Windows Embedded technologies.

It will be delivered by Windows Embedded Gold Partner MPC Data and will allow new visitors to access relevant product and technical information while also allowing them to get to grips with the Windows Embedded operating systems through practical exercises.

The workshop will provide an overview of two Windows Embedded operating systems - Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 and newly launched Windows Embedded Standard 7, before offering delegates a deep dive, hands-on experience of using the Standard 7 tools to generate an operating-system image and guidance on how to build, customise and deploy images in an embedded scenario.

Windows Embedded Gold Partner Direct Insight will deliver the Microsoft Windows Embedded Live seminar, which will dive deep into the technical details of the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 and Windows Embedded Standard 7 operating systems.

Based around a live demonstration of the tools building a real platform, these workshops will build up a complete picture, designed to allow delegates to evaluate the OS and tools from a technology perspective.

The informal nature of these sessions will provide new visitors with an opportunity to discuss specific projects and products with technology experts and members of the Windows Embedded Business Group.

These sessions are intended for companies that have little or no previous experience with Windows Embedded operating systems, but that have an embedded or real-time product or appliance they are developing.
