  2. Agenda • Introduction • Getting the tools • Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone • Windows Phone 7 Emulator • Expression Blend for Windows Phone • Visual Studio 2010 Express SKU versus paid SKU’s • Q & A

  3. IntroductionAbout me – Setting the stage This talk is based on my personal experiences with Windows Phone 7 • Windows Embedded CE developer (1996) • Windows Mobile developer (2000) • Windows Phone 7 developer (March 2010) • Not a Microsoft employee • Only using the tools that are publicly available (April CTP)

  4. IntroductionWindows Phone 7 – A New Kind of Phone Great News, not only for End-Users but also for Developers • End-User experiences are very important • Windows Phone 7 Developers will use the latest Development Tools • The potential Windows Phone 7 Developer Community is large • Developing applications for Windows Phone 7 is fun • Free versions of the Development Tools for everybody

  5. IntroductionWindows Phone 7 – A New Kind of Developers Who can develop applications for Windows Phone 7? • The Windows Phone 7 Application Model is familiar to Silverlight Developers • Windows Phone 7 Applications can be Silverlight based • Keep in mind that you are developing for a phone • The Windows Phone 7 Application Model is familiar to Game Developers • Windows Phone 7 Applications can be XNA based • Keep in mind that you are developing for a small device • The Windows Phone 7 Application Model is familiar to WM Developers • The life of managed application developers becomes easier • No P/Invoke, limited number of form factors

  6. Getting StartedVisit the Windows Phone Developer Portal Your one stop shop to • Get all the development / design tools you need • One single download gets you all the tools • Integrate nicely with already installed ‘paid’ SKU’s of the tools • Get inspired by blog entries, white papers, events and other resources • Get assistance from our daily growing Developer Community through Forums • Submit your applications for verification and deployment • Right after this talk go to http://developer.windowsphone.com/Default.aspx

  7. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone Features Free version of Visual Studio 2010 to develop Windows Phone Applications • Develop Silverlight Applications for Windows Phone • Combination of XAML and C# code • Code execution inside a protected environment • Develop XNA Framework based Applications for Windows Phone • Combination of content (art) and C# code • Code execution inside a protected environment • Runs side-by-side with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 / 2008 • Allows ongoing development for Windows Mobile 6.x

  8. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone Look and Feel

  9. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone Which device to run your applications on? Using the Windows Phone 7 Emulator • Your first Windows Phone 7 target device for new applications • Application behavior on the emulator identical to a physical device • Great device to initially test your applications • Easy application deployment • Direct deployment from within Visual Studio 2010 • One emulator can host applications from multiple Visual Studio 2010 instances • Performance behavior and user experience will be (slightly) different

  10. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone Debugging Capabilities Of course you don’t have bugs in your applications, but how to find mine? • Adequate debugging experience to find ‘day-to-day’ bugs • Setting breakpoints • Inspecting variables • Setting variables • Executing individual methods • Using the Output Window for Trace / Debug information

  11. Developing and Debugging a Windows Phone Application DEMO

  12. Windows Phone Application AnatomyCollaboration between XAML and C# code behind • Everything can be done in code, but not always the easy road • XAML defines what you see on the phone • Code behind defines the behavior of your application • Software developers will meet XAML during application development • Developer and Designer roles combined • Making simple changes by modifying XAML code immediately • Creating static UI layouts from within Visual Studio 2010 • Designer support good enough to create the UI • No Support for dynamic behavior

  13. Microsoft Expression Blend for Windows Phone The road to creating really beautiful User Interfaces Expression Blend is used to design User Interface Experiences • You can build amazing experiences relatively easy • Has a learning curve, especially for developers • The tool is powerful but use it ‘wisely’ for Windows Phone UI design • The tool of choice for transitions / animations • Has great support for showing / testing data driven UI elements • Can be used in combination with Visual Studio 2010 • Uses the same Windows Phone Emulator to test experiences

  16. Moving Beyond Visual Studio 2010 Express Windows Phone 7 Development and other Visual Studio SKU’s All Windows Phone 7 tools integrate in other Visual Studio 2010 SKU’s • You will get additional tools that can partly be used for phone development • Code Analysis, Code Metrics, (Profiling using a different target platform) • Better Debugging Experience • Great control over breakpoints • Additional tracing functionality • Team Collaboration • Targeting multiple platforms in multiple programming languages • XNA Studio supports creating project copies

  17. Moving Beyond Visual Studio 2010 Express Not all Visual Studio 2010 Tools can be used for Windows Phone 7 • Can use tools that work directly on your source code • Cannot use tools that collect runtime information • No Edit and Continue support • No profiling on the device / emulator • No ‘standard’ Visual Studio 2010 unit testing support • Unit Testing through Silverlight Unit Test Framework • Ships as part of the Silverlight Toolkit (http://silverlight.codeplex.com/) • Device Performance Measurement • EnableFrameRateCounter on device • EnableRedrawRegions on the device

  18. Using a non-express version of Visual Studio 2010 DEMO

  19. Conclusions • Windows Phone 7 is a new kind of phone • User Experience is completely different • Develop applications using the latest family of tools • Windows Phone Application Developers are First Class Citizens • Your applications are managed code (C#) only • Application deployment will be through Market Place • The paid SKU’s of Visual Studio have additional tools to increase your productivity and quality of code • Developing for Windows Phone 7 is FUN!
