If you’ve been developing for the competitive iPhone marketplace, this book will help you leverage your iOS skills on a fast-growing new platform: Windows Phone 7 (WP7). If you’re a .NET programmer, it will help you build advanced WP7 mobile solutions that reflect valuable lessons learned by iOS developers. If you’re a mobile development manager, it offers indispensable insights for planning cross-platform projects.
Kevin Hoffman guides you through the entire WP7 Software Development Kit (SDK), showing how it resembles Apple’s iOS SDK, where it differs, and how to build production-quality WP7 apps that sell. Step by step, you’ll master each technology you’ll need, including C#, Silverlight, and XAML. Every new concept is introduced along with all the tools and background needed to apply it.
Hoffman’s practical insights extend into every facet of WP7 development: building user interfaces; hardware and device services; WP7’s unique Application Tiles; Push Notifications; the Phone Execution Model, local storage, smart clients, Model-View-View Model (MVVM) design, security, social gaming, testing, debugging, deployment, and more. A pleasure to read and packed with realistic examples, this is the most useful WP7 development book you can find.
· Compare Apple’s Objective-C and Microsoft’s C#: “second cousins twice removed”
· Build rich, compelling user interfaces based on Silverlight, XAML, and events
· Move from Apple’s Xcode to Visual Studio 2010 and from Interface Builder to Expression Blend
· Leverage hardware and device services, including the accelerometer, GPS, photos, contacts, e-mail, and SMS
· Create dynamic application Tiles to appear on the Start screen
· “Push” raw data notifications to running apps
· Understand and use the WP7 phone execution model
· Efficiently store and retrieve data on WP7 phones
· Build “smart clients” that sync locally stored data with web services
· Manage growing app complexity through “separation of concerns” and MVVM
· Successfully deploy apps to the Marketplace
