UI Framework & XAML

UI FrameworkSignature & Standard Controls

Layouts

Tree based

Retained mode / composited framework

Fully extensibleUserControl & Panel

Styling

Templating

Subclassing

XAMLeXtensible Application Markup Language

A declarative, markup-based language to define your user experience

Everything you can do in XAML you can do in code – it’s just easier in XAML.

<StackPanel> <TextBox/> <Button/></StackPanel>

StackPanel stackPanel = new StackPanel();

TextBox textBox = new TextBox();stackPanel.Children.Add(textBox);

Button button = new Button();stackPanel.Children.Add(button);

Controls

Reusable & CustomizableEmbody the Windows Phone design principles

Standard ControlsMap, WebBrowser, Ads, Intrinsic Controls (Button, TextBox, Grid, etc)

Toolkit ControlsDatePicker, TimePicker, Rating, AutoCompleteBox, etc

Signature ControlsPanorama, Pivot, LongListSelector, AppBar

Signature Controls: Panorama

Signature Controls: Pivot

Signature Controls: LongListSelectorJumpListSticky Headers Grid View

Pages & Navigation

*Screens Transient UI the user does not navigate to Shown in a Popup control by a Page.

*

*

Page Navigation

Each page identified by a URIEach page is essentially stateless

private void btnLongListSelector_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e){ NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/LongListSelectorPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative));}

Live Tiles & Lock ScreenStaying alive !

Tile Templates and Tile Sizes

Flip – flips from front to back

Iconic – clean iconic layout

Cycle – cycles through up to nine images

30

Your app can show detailed status on the lock screen

Your app can show quick status (icon and count)

Your app can update the background image

Lock Screen on Windows Phone 8

MonetizationGive me the cash !

Making MoneyPaid Apps Trial -> Paid In-App Purchase Ads

Microsoft takes 30% of your revenue (up to 25,000$, 20% after)

Build for bothWindows Phone 8 + Windows 8

Build For Both

Windows and Windows Phone Shared CoreStraightforward to share code between appsNo XAML sharing technique however…

MVVM - Model View ViewModelEasy to share Model and ViewModel for both appsViews are tailored to screen sizesEasiest if you build both apps at the same time

MiscSome other useful stuff you might to look at

Team Foundation Service

Azure Mobile Services

App Studio

Build an app from your browser

Add content

Customize the app

Download it on your device

Share with family & friends
