Consumers
today expect their phone to be a multi-use machine with the capabilities
of a phone, a GPS, a gaming device, and an Internet tablet. For some consumers,
their phone is now their primary connection to the Internet, replacing the desktop/laptop
computer for the first time. For developers, the challenge is to find the best way
to create the experiences that the user needs. Windows Phone 7.5 provides that platform,
and Silverlight is the engine to power those experiences.
This book will get you ready to write apps for the up-and-coming Windows Phone platform using your XAML skills. It covers all the features including:
