Jesse Liberty is publishing a mini-series on the web about Windows Phone 7 programming for Silverlight programmers. The first in the series is now available.
This is the first in a series of mini-tutorials on Windows Phone 7 Programming for Silverlight Programmers.
Goals:
- Rapid introduction to Win Phone 7 for experienced Silverlight Programmers
- Design and implementation of WP7 Silverlight HVP
Audience: Silverlight Programmers who want to learn to program the new Windows Phone 7. Once the fundamentals are covered, the target audience will narrow to Silverlight Programmers who wish to participate in the Silverlight HVP Phone project
Getting Started
There are two paths to installing what you need
- Download the Phone Developer Tools (which include Visual Studio Express)
- Or… Download Visual Studio and the Silverlight Developer tools, and then install the Windows Developer tools
The First Three Applications
This tutorial will demonstrate how to create a simple Win7Phone application. The follow on will extend that application to create a second page, consisting of a simple form whose text fields are data bound.
The third tutorial, building on an application started by Tim Heuer, will demonstrate how to bind to live data through a web service, how to implement the panorama view and how to integrate both animation and live Bing maps.
Thanks for posting this information! The more the merrier.
I was on the MS campus in Building 20 all day Tuesday and Wednesday attending the Windows Phone 7 Jumpstart. Oddly enough, I looked all over Building 20 and didn’t see you. Heh, heh. You must have been closeted away and I hope you didn’t miss the food, because it was very good!
This is getting exciting! It’s clear that you’ve been getting a lot of NDA-type info, and I’ll bet it’s hard to keep from shouting it to the world. There were a number of NDA-type questions at the Jumpstart that got answered with the moral equivalent of “No comment”.
Yeah, they very specifically kept me away from the Windows Phone Jumpstart (or any other human interaction). :)
Did they have armed guards in suits watching over you as well? I mean if Apple can lose an iPhone 4g ….. heh.
In effect, yeah. I was always accompanied. I feel bad for the guy that had to spend all that time in the room with me.
