Praise for

Windows Phone 7 Programming for Android

and iOS Developers

“Among quite a few Windows Phone 7 programming books on the market, this book is one of

the best for iOS and Android developers who look into creating applications on the new Windows

Phone 7 platform. It is also an excellent desktop reference for mobile computing courses in

schools, as it provides architectural overview of many popular mobile technologies on the three

major mobile platforms, as well as sample code that will help students understand the technologies

and develop programming skills for Windows Phone quickly.

“Mobile is a rapidly growing space that is yet to reach its full potential and reach worldwide.

The combination of mobility, form factor, price, social media, and a global market is

enabling scenarios that previously were either hard to imagine or to develop. Developers,

both professional and otherwise, are ﬂ ocking to mobile platforms to create applications and

games. An approachable, effective, integrated application platform is a goal that every software

vendor should be aiming for. The Windows Phone 7 application platform enables developers to

create engaging consumer experiences running on a Windows Phone. It is built upon existing

Microsoft tools and technologies such as Visual Studio, Expression Blend, Silverlight, and the

XNA framework. Developers already familiar with those technologies will be able to create new

applications for the Windows Phone quickly and easily.

“This book helps you to understand the Windows Phone application framework. It focuses

on Windows Phone design guidelines, provides guidance architecture, and solidiﬁ es it with

hands-on, real-world development scenarios. It is comprehensive, highly readable, and replete

with useful real-world examples. I highly recommend this book for smartphone developers, IT

professionals, and engineering managers. Whether you are new, or one who has experience on

the iOS and Android platforms, this book serves as the ideal reference for development on the

Windows Phone.”
