When the zombie apocalypse comes will you be ready?  If you have doubts then attend this session and learn how you can use microcontrollers and the .NET Micro Framework & Gadgeteer platforms to build the tools you need to protect your family and have fun doing it.  This will be a brief intro to .NET Micro Framework (FEZ & Netduino boards), Arduino, and the new Gadgeteer platform.  Be there or be food.
