-- Read windows phone7 entry classic: Using Silverlight and xNa to develop Windows Phone applications

The book is like its name. This book gradually guides readers to understand the design intent of the Windows Phone operating system from the familiar mobile phones around them. It is different from other operating systems such as IOS and Android, and has advantages. This section describes the acquisition of development tools, the hello windowsphone program, the basic knowledge and skills of Silverlight, and various common operations. It is used to compile simple games based on xNa and develop games using expression blend; how to publish the final program, join the store, or share your work for free. The complete and easy-to-understand method brings you into the Windows Phone development door. With this knowledge, you can fully understand how you need to gain an in-depth understanding of a specific detail and develop brilliant works.

After reading this book, you will not become a Windows phone7 developer, but it is enough to give you the opportunity to write programs on your windows phone7, with graphic interfaces, pushing messages, cloud storage, Address Book, SMS resources, and other cool features, you may be pleasantly surprised by your girlfriend's birthday.

Although I am a loyal follower of Microsoft and the most valuable expert of Microsoft in the past two years, I objectively face the opportunity that Ms has missed in the mobile application field, I also have to say that Microsoft's mobile operating system Windows Phone is indeed too late, but it does not affect it to become a good operating system and will come later. Windows phone7 hardware regulations enable the development of Windows phone7 applications to no longer consider various resolutions and various personalized Input hardware as the previous development of Windows Mobile; while the metro interface is very simple color block design, compared with the space sense of the Color Block and intermediate text, Microsoft's Windows Phone is more specific to the artist's temperament than iOS or Android, with a full sense of fashion and technology. In my opinion, at least, Windows Phone is more innovative and artistic. Imagine that today, when the iPhone is like an arcade, do you still have pride in iPhone 1? As a matter of fact, on the road, I often hear people talk about "his mobile phone is a Windows Phone System !"

The author of this book has rich development experience. This book introduces the wording of the Windows Phone System as a shy girl. Although she has a beautiful appearance, she expresses herself in a very implicit way, some features may conflict or disagree with the end customers. For example, cloud-based functions, store applications, and other functions are a channel defined by Microsoft for customers to go to SAAS. However, the introduction of these functions is far-fetched, you need to pay additional traffic fees for network operators and keep your mobile phone network accessible.

I have been familiar with reading titles for a long time in development books. I have been reading translations and some translation errors, such as 1.1.2 and 12th million lines of Android, which are misspelled into androin. There are a lot of examples of code in the book, and there are also a lot of stories from the author about development experience. In my opinion, the key is whether you read the book or not, and the story is the same, in fact, msdn can also be used for learning. This book is developed on Windows Phone and is suitable for reading a tool book or getting started book based on the regular features.
