Windows Phone 7 is very close to release which I’m really looking forward to, what I’m really hoping is that version iterations for the phone are quick and we can see a lot more features showing up. Here’s a few things I’d like to see in the pipeline based on my experience so far in developing on the device.
I’ve just upated the Windows Phone 7 Example Applications list with the next two applications. Both are a little longer, and little more complex as I try to introduce some more features. Given that both also use Expression Blend to do some of the work I’ve included videos on how to use Blend.
I’m currently in the process of writing the next to tutorials in my Windows Phone 7 tutorial series and thought I’d share these snippets of code.
I’ve just posted the third and fourth tutorials in my series in recreating the AppsAmuck sample applications for Windows Phone 7. These two cover Tasks and connecting to a JSON service. Both of these show some limitations in the current WP7 SDK.
I always do a lot better with learning new technologies when there’s a clear goal in mind, some small application that uses the functionality I want to learn. The AppsAmuck website currently provides 31 of these example applications for people wanting to learn iPhone development, what better way to learn some Windows Phone 7 (and Silverlight) than by working my way through bringing these applications across to WP7.
