Windows Phone – Application platform

Windows phone application platform helps to develop interactive consumer applications in Windows phones. The major attraction over here is that you can use existing Microsoft tools and technologies such as Visual studio, expression blend, Silverlight and XNA framework.

Here we have two frameworks for developing applications on Windows phone such as

• Silverlight framework for event driven , XAML based application development
• XNA framework for fun gaming and entertainment experiences

The Windows Phone Application Platform helps developers to create applications by providing:

• A familiar and inexpensive toolset.
• A cohesive and well designed managed API set.
• An isolated sandbox for each application.
• Runtime services on devices that can be used to access web services in the cloud such as Xbox LIVE®, Windows Azure, location, and notification services. Access to 3rd party Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Representational State Transfer (REST) services across the web is also supported.
• The Windows Phone Marketplace to distribute their application.
