Shape 2013 developing multi targeting windows store and windows phone apps
This document provides an agenda for a presentation on developing multi-targeting Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 apps. The agenda includes discussing the importance of multi-targeting, an ABC on multi-targeting, modeling apps using MVVM, and creating a sample multi-targeting app to demonstrate sharing code across platforms using portable class libraries, applying MVVM, and creating platform-specific views. The presentation aims to provide best practices for multi-targeting apps across Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 through code sharing and proper design patterns like MVVM.

- 3. The Importance of MultiTargeting It is important. that’s why you are here, right?
- 4. Windows Phone 8 WindowsPhone 7.x Direct3D, XAudi Windows Phone .NET o2, MF, WASAPI, Runtime WIN32, COM C#, VB C#, VB, C++ C++

- 8. ABC of Multi Targeting Let’ssee the main points on how to do it right, the first time.
- 9. • Share codeacross platforms using Portable Class Libraries • Apply MVVM to wire cross-platform apps • Create portable abstractions for non-portable functionality
- 10. • Link Sourcecode files between platforms. • Create platform specific Views • Share UI with user controls • Always Decouple! Create Clean & SOLID Code.
- 11.
- 13. One Source One Project OneBinary Multiple Platforms!
- 14. Windows 8 Windows Phone 8
- 16. Windows 8 Windows Phone 8
- 17. Windows 8 #if NETFX_CORE Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal,() => { #endif Windows Phone 8 #if WINDOWS_PHONE Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() => { #endif
- 18. public class ServiceLocator { public static IFileStorage FileStorage { get; set; } public static IPhotoChooser PhotoChooser { get; set; } }
- 19. MVVM It deserves itsown section on this XAML world.
- 20. User Interface AppLogic General Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM)
- 23. Creating our Multi TargetingApp We will see how to create a Windows Store & Windows Phone App that share code and components.
- 24. • Usage ofPCL to share code • Portable.MvvmLightLibs & Portable.CommonService Locator • MVVM done right • Linking code
- 25. • Usage ofthe Repository pattern • Creation of our first ViewModel • OData Client Tools for Windows Store & Windows Phone Apps (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/jj658961)
- 26. Do not trustthe web…
- 27. Summary.. So, what havewe seen?
- 28. Applying best practicesis a must Using proper design patterns too Sharing Code through PCL & Linking MVVM is fundamental

- #11 Clean code: Easy to understand. Easy to modify. Easy to test. Works correctlySOLID Single responsibility, Open-closed principle, Liskov substitution, Interface segregation and Dependency inversionSTUPIDSingletonTight couplingUntestabilityPremature OptimizationIndescriptive NamingDuplication
- #18 The thread-handling dispatchers are different on Windows Phone and Windows 8. In windows 8, we use an element of the UI Core while in Windows Phone, we have a dispatcher that has been assigned to our app deployment. So, if you’re anything like me, you say “well it was worth a shot, time to give up”.
- #20 Means Decouples
- #21 Model – Not UI relatedView Model – Encapsulates hat to display and flow of interactionView – Defines dow to display information from the View ModelHow does this relate to portable libraries? View – needs to be different per platform. View Model and Model can be the same between platforms.So this pattern is ideally suited for creating cross-platform apps, because it encourages a clean separation between the parts of your code that should be shared and those that are platform specific
- #22 What besides the UI wasn’t portable? File system, interaction with the OS.The View Models and Models will need that functionality. So…
