Learning Resources

  • Setting up your Development Environment for Windows Phone
    • Installing Windows 8:   To develop for Windows Phone 8 you need to have Windows 8
      installed. Luckily. Note: if you have Windows 7 installed you can develop for Windows
      Phone 7.5 apps but not Windows Phone 8 apps.
    • Installing Visual Studio: Development for Windows Phone or Windows 8 apps is done
      through Visual Studio.
    • Installing the Windows Phone SDK: You can install the Windows Phone SDK from here.
      This will install everything you need to build Windows Phone apps and will also let you
      install an express copy of Visual Studio if you have skipped step 2.
    • Create Your First App: Follow the "Create your first app Tutorial" from the windows phone
      dev site to familiarize yourself with the Visual Studio environment.
    • Like MIC Lahore Facebook page for windows phone workshop/bootcamp updates.

    Ali, we have intentionally not disclosed the details of handsets for now since the biggest prize is in terms of technical assistance and depth engagement we will provide to selective candidates that will help their apps 'shine' in the marketplace. We want our developers community to recognize that this in-depth engagement matters and be not driven for prize only. Hope that explains? :)
