Principles and means of developing and publishing applications for mobile devices running on Windows Phone 7.5 platform using Silverlight and XNA technologiesc

Windows Phone 7.5 platform using Silverlight and XNA technologiesc

Mobile app development is the act or process by which a mobile app is developed for mobile devices, such as personal digital assistants, enterprise digital assistants or mobile phones. These applications can be pre-installed on phones during manufacturing platforms, or delivered as web applications using server-side or client-side processing (e.g., JavaScript) to provide an "application-like" experience within a Web browser. Application software developers also must consider a long array of screen sizes, hardware specifications, and configurations because of intense competition in mobile software and changes within each of the platforms. Mobile app development has been steadily growing, in revenues and jobs created. A 2013 analyst report estimates there are 529,000 direct app economy jobs within the EU 28 members, 60% of which are mobile app developers

Silverlight for Windows Phone 7

According to some leaked information, there will be two important platforms for Windows Phone 7: Silverlight 3 with some features from Silverlight 4 and XNA, but Microsoft plans to make Silverlight the basic platform for Windows Phone 7, as S. Somasegar, a Senior VP at Microsoft, said: “At the heart of Windows Phone 7 Series development is Silverlight.”

The available development tools include:

Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone CTP

Windows Phone Emulator CTP – integrated with Visual Studio

Silverlight for Windows Phone CTP

XNA 4.0 Game Studio CTP – to write games for the phone, Xbox, and desktop.Silverlight for Windows Phone 7

Silverlight for Android

For Silverlight to be an important player it needs to run on all major operating systems and on all major mobile platforms. There are no clear details for Silverlight for Android but Google’s open source platform is supposed to be supported soon. After releasing the Tag application for Android, some wonder if Microsoft’s next application for Android will be Silverlight.Silverlight for Android

Silverlight for iPhone

Microsoft’s plans for Silverlight on Apple’s phone are also not clearly expressed but they have received approval from Apple to port Silverlight to iPhone. Microsoft has showed Silverlight streaming on iPhone at PDC 2009. Brian Goldfarb, User Experience Platform Manager at Microsoft, explained the reasons:

Windows Phone (WP) is a family of discontinued[6] mobile operating systems developed by Microsoft for smartphones as the replacement successor to Windows Mobile[7][8] and Zune.[9] Windows Phone features a new user interface derived from Metro design language. Unlike Windows Mobile, it is primarily aimed at the consumer market rather than the enterprise market.[10] It was first launched in October 2010 with Windows Phone 7.[11] Windows Phone 8.1 is the latest public release of the operating system, released to manufacturing on April 14, 2014Windows Phone (WP) is a family of discontinued[6] mobile operating systems developed by Microsoft for smartphones as the replacement successor to Windows Mobile[7][8] and Zune.[9] Windows Phone features a new user interface derived from Metro design language.

Windows Phone 7 was announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, on February 15, 2010, and released publicly on November 8, 2010 in the United States.

In 2011, Microsoft released Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. The update included a mobile version of Internet Explorer 9 that supports the same web standards and graphical capability as the desktop version, multi-tasking of third-party apps,[36][37] Twitter integration for the People Hub,[38][39][40] and Windows Live SkyDrive access.[41] A minor update released in 2012 known as "Tango", along with other bug fixes, lowered the hardware requirements to allow for devices with 800 MHz CPUs and 256 MB of RAM to run Windows Phone.[42]

Since Windows Phone 7 devices could not be upgraded to Windows Phone 8 due to hardware limitations,[43] Windows Phone 7.8 was released as a stopgap update in 2013 to include some of the features from Windows Phone 8. The update included a tweaked start screen, additional color schemes, and more wallpaper options.
