  • Article

 

I received a question at yesterdays ALT-C conference on what articles and resources Microsoft had for cross-platform development, our team (Microsoft Open Technologies) have been working with the open source communities on various projects such as PhoneGap for Windows Phone 7 or jQuery Mobile theme for Windows Phone.

You can find information and resources here https://windowsphone.interoperabilitybridges.com/

These articles don’t bring a strict recommendation but rather raise the questions a developer should ask himself when considering a cross-platform project.
