Monday, August 16, 2010. On the Windows Phone Marketplace. After thinking about it, though, I decided that the game industry itself has done fine with the AAA developers and the indies alike (as has been the general theme over at Game Theory Online. And The Escapist's Extra Credit feature. Room for both. Yay! But then I read tonight about Microsoft's continued focus on games for Windows Phone 7. And their support for many other existing XBox Live developers. Is there room for someone like me to even try?

Friday, September 17, 2010. Unlike Joaquin Phoenix's stunts regarding the film of the same name, this isn't a hoax - I really am still here, even if I haven't been posting. The final RTW (Release To Web? As for my progress. I finished reading Learning XNA 3.0 by Aaron Reed. On the Silverlight front, I'm a little more behind. I've got three or four ideas that I want to put in place, but don't have the skill/talent for design nor the Silverlight know-how to implement it, if I did. My first app is g...Windo...

Monday, July 12, 2010. Windows Phone Developer Tools Beta. The Beta of the Windows Phone 7 Developer tools has just been released. Many of the changes from the CTP we've been using seem to be geared to allowing those who have actual devices to use them. Unfortunately that doesn't include me. Other changes include controls and control templates, both of which I've got no real understanding of yet, since that's all Silverlight and I'm still a Silverlight newbie, still focusing on learning some XNA.

Saturday, November 13, 2010. Another of those "I'm still here" blog titles. Wow, almost two months since I last posted here. Windows Phone 7 has released in Europe and Asia, then in the US. but not Canada! So, no one has been blessed with my amazing app yet, but on the other hand, I couldn't be using it myself, either, since I can't get a phone yet. The numerous blogs I follow have been a tremendous source of information (and I'm only 50 articles behind at the moment! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Petzold'...

Sunday, August 8, 2010. I've put the XNA programming aside for now, moving on from samples and examples to trying to get an honest-to-goodness app finished and running. To do this, I'm leveraging libraries written by others, something that I find hard to do because I rather enjoy the process of implementing the same code myself. At this rate, I might end up coding these libraries myself, after all. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). On the Windows Phone Marketplace. WP7 Developer Training Kit.

Thursday, May 6, 2010. I'm definitely not whipping out any Twitter apps or 3D games, but I'm finally getting my feet wet with Windows Phone 7 development. I finished the Windows Phone 7 Training Kit. I got my new DirectX 10-capable video card yesterday, which meant I was able to continue going through Charles Petzold's preview of his Programming Windows Phone Series. I've (re-)started reading the two preview chapters of O'Reilly's Learning Windows Phone. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Learning Windows Phone...

Friday, July 30, 2010. Learning and more learning. Last week the Windows Phone team hosted a series of Jump Start courses. Which I "attended" for the most part. Unfortunately, my children were accommodating during the parts that I knew, but not the parts that I wanted most to see, but that's what reruns are for, right? I also "attended" the unboxing of a Windows Phone 7 by Tim Heuer. Monday, July 12, 2010. Windows Phone Developer Tools Beta. Other changes include controls and control templates, both of w...

Thursday, April 22, 2010. VS2010 Windows Phone 7 Redux. Luckily, I've got an XP virtual machine in which I can run VS2010, for doing non-Phone development. It's just unfortunate that I can't combine all of my development work into a single environment. I'm sure Visual Studio veterans are laughing at my wide-eyed experiences, but we can't all have experience with everything out there, can we? Well, I'm trying. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
