Introduction Windows Phone 7 is
the latest Mobile OS developed by Microsoft.
Windows Phone 7competes in the market with a variety of mobile OS like: iOS,Android,Symbian,Meego,Maemo,..etc. Its popularity proves its Usability & Functionality.
Windows Phone 7 introduces a whole new platform (not an update to the previous platform).
Technologies Windows Phone 7 is made of familiar technologies
for the developers Like : - Silverlight -XNA Game Studio All programs for Windows Phone 7 are written
in .NET managed code.
Silverlight These programs are built from a
combination of markup and code. The markup is the Extensible Application
Markup Language, or XAML which defines a layout of user-interface controls and panels.
Silverlight is great for bringing to the Windows Phone the style of Rich Internet Applications (RIA), including media and the Web.
Silverlight for Windows Phone is a version of Silverlight 3 excluding some features not appropriate for the phone, but compensating with some enhancements.
XNA XNA the three letters stand for
something like ……. “XNA is Not an Acronym” XNA is Microsoft’s game platform
supporting both 2D sprite-based and 3D graphics with a traditional game-loop architecture.
Although XNA is mostly associated with writing games for the Xbox 360 console, developers can also use XNA to target the PC itself, as well as Microsoft’s classy audio player, the Zune HD.
XNA XNA is primarily for writing high-performance
games. For 2D games, you define sprites and backgrounds based around bitmaps; for 3D games you define models in 3D space. The action of the game, which includes moving graphical objects around the screen and polling for user input, is synchronized by the built-in XNA game loop.
