Acknowledgments

I would like to acknowledge the incredible support provided by the Apress team who patiently waited as I struggled to balance all the demands in my life the past year. Jonathan Hassell has been there with me through all of my books with Apress, and I sincerely appreciate his support. Debra Kelly has been a trooper prodding me along to keep this book on track with the help of Jennifer Blackwell through the final push.

Introduction

Authoring a book on mobile development with a title that starts with Pro is a daunting task. Put in too much introductory material, and you lose the knowledgeable developer looking to take his application to the next level. Breeze through key concepts, and the cross-platform professional mobile developer may struggle learning how to work with targeting a relatively new platform in Windows Phone.

Another challenge is culling down what to cover between Silverlight and the XNA Framework. Both are fabulous and interesting technologies so I strived to cover both in a single text, though this book is more geared toward Silverlight developers who are interesting in learning about the XNA Framework as well.

However, with the combination of Silverlight and XNA Framework rendering available in Windows Phone 7.5 and the Windows Phone OS 7.1 SDK, understanding XNA Framework development becomes even more relevant to Silverlight developers, and vice versa. Consider the airlines demo Microsoft showed off at MIX 11, where you can navigate a 3D rendering of the airplane to pick your seat, and you can see the amazing possibilities available with Shared Graphics Rendering.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of XAML and Silverlight since it is a critical aspect of Windows Phone development. It also focuses on many of the more challenging topics such as correctly architecting Silverlight for Windows Phone applications using the Model-View-ViewModel architecture as well as working with services, encryption, and gestures.
