Developer Community Suite (Azure, WP7 & ASP.NET) for Windows Phone

  • Article

I’ve been thinking about how developers will be staying connected to Microsoft technologies and the tech community in the future. They will often be on the go and desire up to the minute information. Much like now! With this in mind, I created a suite of Windows Phone apps. Currently, I have created four free apps:

 Azure Developer          
Title: Cloud Developer
Version: 1.0
Size: 1MB
Languages : English
Description: The latest Windows Azure news, blog posts, videos, and more. Content is updated daily!
                  
WinPhone Developer [Lite]
Title: WinPhone Developer 
Version: 1.1
Size: 1MB
Languages : English
Description: The latest Windows Phone news, code samples, job posts, articles, and other information. Updated daily!
ASP.NET DAILY [Lite]
Title: ASP.NET Daily
Version: 2.0
Size: 1MB
Languages : English
Description: The latest ASP.NET news, blog posts, code samples, videos, forum posts, and other information. Updated daily!
SQL DAILY
Title: SQL Daily - AVAILABLE SOON!
Version: 1.0
Size: 1MB
Languages : English
Description: The latest SQL Server news, blog posts, code samples, videos, forum posts, and other information. Updated daily!
 

 These apps provide the latest news and information for Windows Azure, Windows Phone, ASP.NET, and SQL Server enthusiasts on the go. Each app uses public news feeds and provides additional information, such as:

  • Key articles and content from MSDN
  • Twitter and Facebook feeds
  • Blog Posts
  • Videos
  • Forum Posts
  • Code examples from CodePlex, Code Project, and Code Gallery
  • Job postings
  • Search Capabilities (forums, MSDN, and jobs)

Please use your Windows Phone to download and install these free apps. If you have suggestions for improvements, let me know! I only create and update these apps during my non-work time (yes, I enjoy programming) and follow Microsoft guidelines for creating Windows Phone apps. If you are a developer that is familiar with one of these technology areas, these apps may help you expand your skills and knowledge.

Good coding!
