  5. Elements of the Application Platform Tools & Support Runtime – On “Screen” Tools you use to design & develop Code you write on the client SCREEN CLOUD Developer Portal Services Cloud Services Code you write on the server Tools you use to ship & sell

  6. Elements of the Application Platform Tools Runtime – On “Screen” Phone Emulator Sensors Media Data Location Samples Documentation Phone Xbox LIVE Notifications Guides Community .NET Framework managed code sandbox Packaging and Verification Tools SCREEN CLOUD Portal Services Cloud Services Notifications App Deployment Registration Marketplace Validation MO and CC Billing Location Identity Feeds Certification Business Intelligence Social Maps Publishing Update Management

  7. Two Flavors of Applications • Modern XAML/event-driven application UI framework • Rapid creation of visually stunning apps • Metro-themed UI controls • HTML/JavaScript • 500,000 developers spanning Windows and web • High performance game framework • Rapid creation of multi-screen 2D and 3D games • Rich content pipeline • Mature, robust, widely adopted technology spanning Xbox 360, Windows, and Zune

  8. Common Capabilities Input .NET • Superset of Silverlight 3.0 • Windows Communication Foundation • SOAP and REST services • Touch • Hardware buttons • Accelerometer Media Phone Access • Digital media capture & playback • Media library access • Integrated access to phone UI • Sensors • Camera, microphone • Picker for contacts and photos Data • Isolated Storage • LINQ (Objects and XML) Integrated With Cloud Services OS Integration • App Deployment & Updates • Notifications • Location • Xbox LIVE • Hub Integration • Launchers • Choosers

  9. UI Model: Familiar Web Concepts Phone application Provides UI as XAML pages connected into cross-app flows by URI’s Web application Provide media represented as HTTP resources linked by URL’s System tray Shell frame Requests pages, renders UI, and handles navigation across apps Web browser Requests HTTP resources, renders them, and handles navigation across sites App bar Sessions and back stack Groups together sequences of pages corresponding to a user’s activity across apps History and tabs Groups together sequences of HTTP resources corresponding to a user’s activity across sites

  10. Some Points • APIs • Basic UI (Application -> Frame -> Pages. UI Layout elements (canvas, grid, stack panel), Controls, Application bar) • Navigation • APIs, Launchers, Choosers • Animation • Web-services • Cloud services (push notifications) • Storage • Metro Design – Super cool design • http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2011/03/metro-design-guide-v1/ • http://crocusgirl.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/windows-phone-7-design-notes-part1-metro-resources/ • New UI controls • Pivot (“Tab Control” for the Phone, Take tab panels and “smear them horizontally”, All panels are same width) & Panorama (Panoramic background with “views”, Each panel can be a different width) • Silverlight Toolkit (ContextMenu, DatePicker, TimePicker, ToggleSwitch, WrapPanel, GestureListener, etc) • Application’s lifetime - Single Application Focus • Application closes when interrupted by any other application • 4 Application Events (Launching, Closed, Deactivated, Activated) • “Tombstoning” • No native DB API, use 3rd party libs (Persistent storage, Sqlite Client, Perst, etc.) • MSDN - Differences between SL for WP7 & Windows

  11. From Start to the End Tools & Support • Windows Phone • Emulator Packaging & Verification Tools • Windows Phone device myapp.xap
