Windows Phone 7 Development Using MVVM and Unit Testing Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 Jan/Feb Release Date: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 Quick ID: 1201081 As readers of this magazine, you are all experts at certain facets of software development, be it for the desktop, the web, SQL Server and now mobile platforms. Mobile programming was a fairly arcane development arena up until the recent announcement of Windows Phone 7 (WP7). Prior to WP7, you had to become intimately familiar with the myriad platforms and form factors available and write your programs to each of those phones. With the advent of WP7, Microsoft is now controlling the hardware capabilities of the phone making it much easier to develop for these platforms. You can now also leverage existing skills in Silverlight and XNA to write your apps. But the question always remains: how do I get started and what is the best way to write for the new WP7? In a previous article, CODE Magazine Jan/Feb 2011, I showed you what to do to get started; now I want to show you the best way to apply what you have learned in that article. I will use Silverlight, the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern, and Silverlight Unit testing to build a sample app. Working with Windows Phone User Interfaces, Part 1 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 Jan/Feb Release Date: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 Quick ID: 1201051 Developing for Windows Phone is easy if you have been doing any XAML at all.

I encourage you to download the code to help out if you get stuck. Post Mortem: Xiine for Android Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 Sep/Oct Release Date: Tuesday, August 09, 2011 Quick ID: 1109031 Digital content is becoming more popular. E-book readers encourage people that like to read, to read even more because they can take all of their books on one lightweight gadget. Even though I still love hard copies of a book (you don’t need power to read it), I have had very good experiences with several digital readers. Building an Android Application to Search Twitter Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 Sep/Oct Release Date: Tuesday, August 09, 2011 Quick ID: 1109051 From users to developers, mobile applications used to be (not so long ago) uninteresting. Complicated flows, non-intuitive screens and limited features available used to discourage anyone. PDAs had a poor user interface with limited colors (the first ones were only black and white). It was very complicated and boring to write any code for it. Cell phones used to be a device where you could make and receive phone calls. Eventually you could play some games. But you know what? Even the games were boring most of the time! Building CodeTweet for Windows Phone Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 Sep/Oct Release Date: Tuesday, August 09, 2011 Quick ID: 1109061 In this article, we take a look at what’s involved with building a simple Twitter Search client for Windows Phone.

Getting Started with Windows Phone 7 Development Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 Jan/Feb Release Date: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 Quick ID: 112061 Windows Phone Is Here. Learn It! Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 Jan/Feb Release Date: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 Quick ID: 112021 Sams Teach Yourself iPhone Application Development in 24 Hours, 2nd Edition HOUR 21 - Building Background-Aware Applications Magazine/Issue: Online CoDe Magazine, Book Excerpts Release Date: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 Quick ID: 100223 “The ability to run multiple applications in the background” mocks the Verizon commercial. “Why can’t a modern operating system run multiple programs at once?” question the discussion groups. As a developer and a fan of the iPhone, I’ve found these threads amusing in their naivete' and somewhat confusing. The iPhone has always run multiple applications simultaneously in the background, but they were limited to Apple’s applications. This restriction has been to preserve the user experience of the device as a phone. Rather than an “anything goes” approach, Apple has taken steps to ensure that the phone remains responsive at all times. Getting Started with Windows Mobile Development Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 Jul/Aug Release Date: Friday, June 06, 2008 Quick ID: 0807071 In today’s world of fast food, fast cars, and instant gratification, people expect to be in touch at all times.We have become conditioned to staying in touch with businesses, friends, and families. Because of this desire for instant data, we have the Internet, cell phones, Wi-Fi, MP3 players, and DVD players. As the equipment needed to drive this thirst has become smaller and smaller, we find ourselves looking for portable replacements for our bulky desktop computers.

So what is a UMPC and why would I be interested in writing an application that is optimized for it? Windows Vista Mobility: Why Should You Care? Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2007 - Vol. 4 - Issue 2 - Mobility Release Date: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 Quick ID: 0704052 “Why should I upgrade to Windows Vista™?” is the single most-asked question I get at work these days. Curiosity is driving a lot of folks towards this latest and greatest operating system from Microsoft. What’s new? What does it do? What’s in it for me? Everyone wants to know what’s so special about it and if it is worth it. “How much time do you have right now?” is usually my first reply, closely followed by, “Do you have a laptop?” The Proper Developer Environments for Mobile PC, Tablet PC, and Ultra-Mobile PC Applications Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2007 - Vol. 4 - Issue 2 - Mobility Release Date: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 Quick ID: 0704062 When Microsoft® Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition appeared in 2002, developers were sometimes confused about whether to write code on a Tablet PC or if it were possible to develop Tablet PC applications on existing desktop computers.The solution turned out to be fairly straightforward, if less than intuitive. However, with the addition of Ultra-Mobile PCs (UMPCs), multiple releases of the Tablet and Touch Technology API, and now the Windows Vista™ operating system, this question arises again: What do you need to do to set up your developer environment and create applications for these form factors? Adapting Existing Applications to Work on UMPCs Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2007 - Vol. 4 - Issue 2 - Mobility Release Date: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 Quick ID: 0704072 The Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) presents a new opportunity for existing applications to extend their potential audience.

Introduction to Windows Touch Technology in Windows Vista Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2007 - Vol. 4 - Issue 2 - Mobility Release Date: Monday, March 19, 2007 Quick ID: 0704082 I think we’re making progress toward the goal of bending computers to conform to human factors rather than bending my human factors to conform to the way computers accept input.Ultimately, our brains will be plugged directly into “the grid,” but until then, users still have to learn how to type, control a mouse, and press buttons in certain sequences. The arrival of the Windows Vista™ operating system with Microsoft® Windows® Tablet and Touch Technology is another step toward really natural computing. Inking in ASP.NET 2.0, AJAX, and IE7 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2007 - Vol. 4 - Issue 2 - Mobility Release Date: Monday, March 19, 2007 Quick ID: 0704092 In the past year, new technologies from Microsoft have changed how we can add ink to Web sites and the change is definitely for the better! Basics of Ink in Windows Presentation Foundation Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2007 - Vol. 4 - Issue 2 - Mobility Release Date: Monday, March 19, 2007 Quick ID: 0704102 Ink is a first-class citizen in the next generation of Microsoft® Windows® user interfaces.Microsoft built ink functionality into all versions of the Microsoft Windows Vista™ operating system, and the new Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) makes it easy to ink-enable your applications.

An Introduction to Visual Studio .NET Whidbey Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2004 - January/February Release Date: Monday, January 05, 2004 Quick ID: 0303022 When I was asked to write a few pages on what's coming in the next version of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (code named Whidbey), the biggest issue I had was how to limit this article to a few pages.I opted to list a few categories and drill down into each. I'm not going to cover everything, just some key items in each area. Please note that not all of these changes are implemented in the PDC build that attendees are receiving, and that some of these features are still in the planning stages. That said, here are the categories that I'd like to discuss: Creating Tablet PC Applications with VS .NET Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2003 - September/October Release Date: Monday, September 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0309041 In the Fall of 2002, Microsoft introduced Tablet PCs based on the popular Windows XP operating system.By default, this new platform includes applications with special Tablet PC features enabled, such as Ink Input and Pen-based operation. In order for this platform to become truly popular, third-party vendors will also have to ink-enable their applications. Luckily, this is a pretty straightforward task. Mobile CoDe.NET: Exploring the .NET Compact Framework Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2003 - September/October Release Date: Friday, August 15, 2003 Quick ID: 0309061 Windows or Web? A question you've asked and have been asked countless numbers of times for the past five years.And yet, when it comes to the mobile field and building business applications for smart devices, many are surprised when they realize the same question needs to be answered. The question is slightly dissimilar but the answers are entirely different. "Windows CE or Mobile Web?" you might ask. As for the answer, the .NET world can steer you in two very opposite directions: .NET Compact Framework or ASP.NET Mobile Controls. Palm Development with MobileVB Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2003 - September/October Release Date: Friday, August 15, 2003 Quick ID: 0309081 Developing applications for the Palm OS may seem like a daunting task to a VB developer.The traditional Palm SDK requires at least moderate knowledge of the C programming language and has a substantial learning curve. Further complicating the situation are the memory management requirements of the Palm OS and its specific API references. Now, in version 3.5, MobileVB is a well thought-out add-in for VB6 that alleviates the drawn-out development process and makes Palm OS programming a viable option for even novice VB programmers. Enhancing development effectiveness, MobileVB allows VB programmers to take advantage of existing skills without the need to learn a new programming language or another IDE. Mobile CoDe.NET: Microsoft Mobility 101 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2003 - July/August Release Date: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0307091 Mobility is one of those fields which everybody knows is a definite part of our future, in 5 to 10 years or so. Think again.Amber steps out of her client's office, enters her car, pulls out her mobile phone and dials the number to her main office. She's calling Martin?her internal sales representative to inform him that she finally closed a deal with her client. She needs him to place an internal order at the warehouse. There are many items on that order, including 500 units of product X, configuration A. After a quick query in the central inventory management system, Martin informs her that there are only 250 units left of that configuration, but there are more than plenty for her order if the client would be willing to switch to configuration B. Amber now needs to call her client back and save the deal. The client will be very disappointed, the whole thing will have to be negotiated over the phone, and Amber will probably have to cut her margins or else she'll lose everything. Embedded Visual Basic and your Pocket PC Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2002 - July/Aug Release Date: Saturday, June 15, 2002 Quick ID: 0207041 Pocket PC devices, such as the Compaq iPaq, present both an opportunity and a challenge for software developers.While there are many standard applications available, what tools can you use to develop custom applications?
