Where is the forum for the Microsoft Band?

Question

The title is pretty self-explanatory, but I'll ask again: where is the forum for developing for the Microsoft Band? Unfortunately, "band" is a fairly generic word, so searching for it is a tad futile.

Hi,

You can find a Band forum over here (Participate -> Ask a Question):

Microsoft Band forum on Microsoft Answers

EDIT: Ah, slow on submit. See above.

Thanks, Mike, even though ZigZag beat you to the punch. :)

Now the probably-often-asked question is, why are there two areas for things like this? I suppose the answer is likely related to your "Don't retire TechNet!" link...

I'm not actually sure why Microsoft runs separate platforms. But there's more than just these two, there's a standalone site for ASP.Net, IIS, and Dynamics as well.

The "Don't Retire TechNet" link in my signature points to a thread over on the TechNet Website Feedback forum (that I recently noticed has now been locked.... =\ ) that was complaining about the death of the TechNet subscription program. The forums, gallery, and library are all going to live on (AFAIK, at least) with no end in sight.

OK, I Unmarked as Answer because, while you sort of answered my question, upon further review at the link you provided, there is nothing there about development - it's all about using the Band. In fact, the one person who attempted to ask a development-related question was redirected back to the SDK for the Band, which offers the SDK and documentation, but no way to interact with experts.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
- John

That's the Desktop SDK forum. I'm looking for a Microsoft Band SDK support forum. I searched for "Band" at the link you provided and there wasn't a single thing about the Band in the single page of results that came back.

Is there no dedicated Band SDK forum? Is the Desktop forum the right place to ask about Band development?

I can't find anything Band-specific across any of the MSDN/TechNet/Microsoft forums.

I'd probably give the SDK forum a try anyway. If there's no help there, I might then try a language-specific forum.

There's also a contact email address available on this page:

https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-health/en-us

Perhaps they can offer some better suggestions on where to get some direction.
