Book Description

Build Windows Phone applications optimized for performance and security

Drill into Windows Phone 7 design and architecture—and learn best practices for building a variety of applications. Each chapter focuses on a single Windows Phone building block or feature area, and shows you how to apply it in your applications. If you’re an experienced .NET developer familiar with Microsoft® Silverlight®, you’ll gain deep insights into the Windows Phone platform design and API surface.

Discover how to:

Master the Windows Phone application model, including its lifecycle and events
Use Silverlight UI controls to create engaging applications
Manage databinding and decouple architectural layers with the Model View ViewModel pattern
Employ built-in sensors such as Assisted GPS, the accelerometer, and camera
Use media services APIs for video streaming, as well as audio input and playback
Consume web services and connect to the cloud through Windows Azure™
Apply Windows Phone 7.5 enhancements, such as multitasking and Fast Application Switching
