Recently, I have been very interested in Windows Phone application development and keep doing research about it everyday after my daily job.We all know that in the current mobile industry, the phone operating systems available in the market now have iOS, Android, etc but why pick Windows Phone?
Reasons:
1. I am C# literate and I love C#.
I have been using C# since the beginning of my career. I would want to focus mastering it instead of learning all the other programming languages but not able to master all of them. In the end, I am expert in one thing instead of beginner of everything.
2. Windows Phone SDK provides all the libraries we need to develop an apps very quickly.
For those who experience in Microsoft .net framework knows that we can write code or develop application very quickly because one simple line of code can produce multiple results. The only drawback is we do not know what's happening behind the framework. :) Well, if you are a result oriented person, you would not care about it unless it hits some performance issue, then you will rage and curse Microsoft.
The advantage of speedy development in Windows Phone actually helps to tell the idea of your application can be success or fail. When the required development time is low, it means cost is low and risk is low too. Imagine you can create multiple applications with different business idea quickly to give it a trial and error way to test the market response at lower cost.
Get Started
Alright, let's get back to code. What do we need to get started?
1. Of course, Visual Studio.
2. Download and install the Windows Phone SDK 7.1. (Some may confuse with the SDK version. if you plan to create an app for Windows Phone 7.5, and this is the correct and latest SDK unless Windows Phone 8 SDK has released)
3. Download and install the Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 Update.
