Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 share many components at the Operating System level Shared Windows Core Windows Kernel Windows Kernel Windows NT Kernel

• Shared Core means • OS components such as the kernel, networking, graphics support, file system and multimedia are the same on both Windows 8 and Wi

• Windows Phone 8 supports • Managed app dev using the WP7.1, WP8.0 .NET and Windows Phone Runtime APIs • Native app dev using WinPRT and Win32 • Gam

• The .NET API for Windows Phone is the primary managed API • Includes *all* the types and APIs from Windows Phone OS 7.1 • Contains classes and types

• Windows Phone Runtime is a subset of the full WinRT, plus some phone-specific additions • Windows (Phone) Runtime is implemented in C++ and projecte

• Many of the APIs in Windows Phone Runtime exist to provide new functionality to Windows Phone • Other APIs exist to expose Windows Phone capabilitie

• In addition to .NET and Windows Phone Runtime, you have access to some Win32 APIs • Winsock for low-level networking • Camera APIs for native code a

App Models • Windows Phone 8 offers many additional ways of building apps compared to Windows Phone OS 7.1

• The most common way to build apps for Windows Phone • UI defined using XAML • Logic written using C# or Visual Basic .NET • Access .NET APIs and Win

Demo 1: XAML and Managed Code

•– Works with the developer community and partners on app development for Windows Phone and Windows 8 – Follow Andy’s blog at http://andywigley.com •

• You can develop games for Windows Phone using the XNA framework • Same functionality as in Windows Phone OS 7.1 • Logic written using C# or Visual B

Demo 2: XNA and Managed Code

• Direct3D app written entirely in native code, and which use only Direct3D for its UI • Games development – significant sharing of code base with a P

• Developers can also build managed apps using XAML that incorporate graphics created by a Direct3D native library • Allows addition of powerful grap

Demo 3: Direct3D Games

• Managed apps can also interact with native libraries • Add C++ Dynamic Link Library or Windows Phone Runtime Component projects to a managed XAML so

DEMO 4: Managed and Native Component Interop

• Windows 8-style HTML5/JavaScript app development is not supported on Windows Phone 8 • Windows Phone Runtime projections to C#/VB.NET and C++ only •

Windows Phone 7.x App Compatibility

• In general, the Windows Phone app platform enables apps that target Windows Phone OS 7.1 to run without modification or recompilation on Windows Ph

• Instead of breaking WP 7.1 apps running with the WP 8.0 runtime, quirks mode is applied to retain WP 7.1 behavior • Apps that are upgraded to WP 8

• When converting existing WP7.1 code to WP 8.0, be careful your code does not rely on WP 7.1 behaviour • Two scenarios to consider: • Source code inc
