Windows Phone Secrets PDF
We all knew Paul Thurrott was working on a Windows Phone 7 book called “Windows Phone Secrets” and now he has released a few snapshots of the PDF version of the book. I am guessing there will also be a paperback edition of the book which will help users get acquainted with WP7 which is a completely new OS.
wmgamedev
This book will provide you with a comprehensive guide to developing games for both the Windows Mobile platform and the Windows Phone using the industry standard programming languages C# and VB.NET. You will be walked through every aspect of developing for the Windows Mobile platform—from setting up your development environment for the first time to creating advanced 3D graphics. Finally, you’ll learn how you can make your applications available to others, whether distributing for free or selling online. Using extensive code samples throughout, you’ll gather all the information needed to create your own games and distribute them successfully for others to enjoy.
Aimed primarily at C# developers, almost everything in the book can be used in VB.NET too. For those areas where this is not the case, workarounds are suggested so that VB.NET developers are still able to use the techniques described. The book is aimed at those with an existing background in programming and knowledge of one of the two main .NET programming languages (C# and VB.NET), but who do not necessarily have any knowledge of programming for Windows Mobile or programming games in general. The book will guide the reader through the steps required to become proficient in both of these areas of development.
What you’ll learn
- How to obtain and configure a development environment for Windows Mobile
- How to build a working extensible game engine to reduce development time and increase reusability and distribution
- Tips and techniques for getting games working on a wide range of devices, including older devices, smartphones (with no touchscreens), as well as the latest hardware—all in a single code base
- A full overview of using OpenGL ES, opening up a new world of advanced 2D and 3D graphics and effects
- Everything you need to know to include high quality sound and music in your games
- Advice and information on the best ways to allow the user to interact with your game
- Guidance on distributing your finished games, including information about freeware listings and tips on creating and selling shareware games
