Microsoft: Three major industry trends that developers must face

Application store mode binds the interests of the developer to the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/14734.html "> Platform software, and divides the benefits into a clear public With a clearer way to make money for individual developers or development companies, Apple has been successful and has a slew of applications, such as the Talking Tom Cat, The Angry Bird, and the profits. The App Store model has also been emulated by Microsoft, Google and other companies with platform software. Microsoft, Microsoft, which has the largest user base, Windows, and the upcoming Windows 8, has repeatedly said in many instances that "Windows store is one of the biggest changes Microsoft has made in operating systems over the years." "With the release of the WIN8 consumer preview, the Windows Store is officially open and all applications are now free."





and for developers themselves, at present, there are three major trends in the industry have to face, first: interconnection equipment, now a user will use a variety of devices, must be applied to more equipment or more platforms, which for developers, the workload is relatively higher, but also the embodiment of market opportunities. In this, Microsoft, such as Visual Studio and other tools to help developers through the program to compile, can run on more platforms. Second: Uninterrupted service, the current cloud service era, many applications need to connect to the backend applications, for developers, in addition to the development of front-end applications, but also the development of backend applications. Third: Interoperability and openness, from a single system to a heterogeneous system, requires development tools to support openness and standardization for developers.





"Apple and Google are more like the ends of a straight line, Apple is more closed, more restrictive for developers, and Google's Android is free, but developers tend to be reluctant to build Android, because for multiple versions of Android, applications need to be tested repeatedly. This is a sudden increase in the workload for a developer and a gradual decrease in the interest of developers. Microsoft hopes to compromise, open and manageable. "Tim O ' Brien, general manager of Microsoft platform Strategy, evaluates two competitors. For developers, the trend toward multiplatform is inevitable, and the development tools to choose from are more easily accessible across platforms and across compiled languages.





In addition to Windows 8, Microsoft also has been actively advocating the cloud computing services platform, China is a key part of Microsoft's cloud computing strategy, "cloud is not a simple buy and sell a product, but a method, through the public cloud, private cloud, mixed cloud to emphasize the full coverage of end-to-end solutions to meet the needs of the user's application , "Tim O ' Brien said:" Microsoft's cloud computing strategy is different from other vendors. "At home, in the early days of cloud computing, some companies built data centers on a large scale, resulting in varying degrees of waste and distorting the original purpose of cloud computing." "This situation is now improving, and companies have shifted from infrastructure to application and continue to improve profitability through innovative cloud services." "said Shenwey, chief cloud computing strategist at Microsoft's Greater China region.
