Session Title

Developing A Windows Phone Application Using Windows Azure

Abstract

You are building a Windows Phone application but what would happen when millions of consumers start to use your application? To plan ahead for the huge number of users your application might attract, a more robust architecture must be considered. Windows Azure is exciting platform that empowers you as the developer to off-load the infrastructure needs to the cloud and helps you focus on building an application. In this session, you will learn to build Windows Phone Notepad application that will utilize the WCF RESTful service layer with SQL back-end built in Windows Azure cloud.

Session Title

Animations in Windows Phone

Tap Dancing Hamster and Smoke from Volcano

Abstract

What makes a smartphone application compelling to users? A compelling design, of course, one that not only delivers the benefits that users want, but also keeps them engaged, even entertained, as they navigate its features. Adding animations is a powerful way to not only to engage the users but also make your application fun to use.

In this session, you will learn first how to create a time based animation using Microsoft Expression Blend 4 and then invoke them with C# code you write with Visual Studio 2010. You will do this by animating the character of Morton the hamster. And then you will be introduced to more advanced topic by learning to create a frame based animation that displays smoke rising from an active volcano.
