3. Shared Windows Core
Shared Core means
•OS components such as the kernel, networking, graphics support, file system
and multimedia are the same on both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8
•Hardware manufacturers work with the same driver model on both platforms
•Windows Phone gets the support for multi-core and other hardware features
that Windows has had for years
•These solid, common foundations makes it easier to extend the Windows Phone
platform into the future
It doesn’t mean
•Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 developers work to exactly the same APIs
•(though you will see more commonality as new features are introduced to both
platforms in the future)

6. Similar XAML UI Controls
You create your UI on both platforms using
XAML. Your app will consist of one or more
pages, and each page contains a UI created
by and customized by UI controls. The set
of controls available on Windows Phone 8 is
available in the System.Windows.Controls
namespace.
The set of controls used on
Windows 8 is in the Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls
namespace. Although these are different
namespaces and the types are different,
there’s a lot of similarity in the controls that
are supported.
Most of the controls are named
the same and will be familiar to you coming
from either platform. This supports design
reuse you can design your app for Windows
Phone 8 and Windows 8 with the same UI
building blocks in mind.

7. Windows Phone 8 Programming API
Windows Phone 8 supports
•Managed app dev using the
WP7.1, WP8.0 .NET and
Windows Phone Runtime APIs
•Native app dev using WinPRT
and Win32
•Games dev using the WP7.1
XNA framework
•Games dev using Direct3D or
DirectX

The .NET API for Windows Phone is the primary managed API
•Includes all the types and APIs from Windows Phone OS 7.1
•Contains classes and types from the System and Microsoft.Phone namespaces
There have been new classes added for Windows Phone 8.0, for example
•Microsoft.Phone.Wallet
•Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.ShareMediaTask
•Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.MapsTask
•Microsoft.Phone.Storage.ExternalStorage
•Microsoft.Phone.Networking.Voip
•Many more…!

Windows Phone Runtime is a subset of the full WinRT, plus some phone-specific additions
•Windows (Phone) Runtime is implemented in C++ and projected into C#, VB.NET, and C++
•HTML5/JavaScript projection not available on Windows Phone 8
Full WinRT (around
11,000 members)
Subset adopted for
Windows Phone
Runtime (around
2,800 members)
Phone-specific additions to Windows

•Speech synthesis and recognition
•Windows.Phone.PersonalInformation
•LockScreen and LockScreenManager
•More…

In addition to .NET and Windows Phone Runtime, you have access to some Win32 APIs
•Winsock for low-level networking
•Camera APIs for native code apps
•COM APIs such as CoInitializeEx, CoTaskMemAlloc, CoTaskMemFree, CreateFile2,
ReadFile, WriteFile, HeapAlloc, CreateMutexExW, WaitForSingleObjectW,…many othe
Mainly of interest to native code developers
Managed applications could call these by adding a native project to the solution,
but there are few situations where this will be used

turn-by- turn navigation

21. Speech
•Windows Phone 8 allows you to enable users to robustly
interact with your app using their voice
•Two types of voice interaction are new:
•Voice Commands - Allows users to deep-link
into your app by holding down the Start button and
speaking a prefix you specify for your app, followed by a
command that you define.
•Speech Recognition and Text-to-Speech APIs While in the context of your app, allow users to provide
input using their voice, and readout text to users via

33. Designing an App

34. Design on Paper Before You Touch the
Tools!

35. Design App Navigation Early!

36. Now Start Building With the Tools
Tools for the Job: Graphical Design
•A UX designer can use Blend to
specify the appearance of the user
interface
•A version of Blend for the phone is
supplied as part of the phone SDK

37. Tools for the Job: Code Creation
•A Developer can take the user
interface design and use Visual
Studio build the program to make it
work
•Visual Studio provides a design
environment but it is not as
advanced as Blend

38. Project Templates and Components
•Windows Phone SDK provides a
set of project templates
•Each of them maps onto a
particular style of application
