Creating Killer Windows Phone Apps
This session is about how to sprinkle that last bit of fairy dust on your app. How to make it stand out from the cloud and how to make it ooze quality. The new project templates in Visual Studio give you a good starting point, but they also can lead to the creation of a lot of 'me too' apps. A good designer can see beyond the pre-packaged layouts and create something that still talks the Windows Phone design langauge, but also brings a little freshness, a little innovation and a little more excitement.
In this session, we'll look at how to use animation to create an enjoyable user experience and to add life, often in subtle but expressive ways. We will also look at how developers can help create a good user experience, using techniques such as loading data asynchronously. And we will look at some examples of app design that go beyond the standard layouts.
