Wow, a very thorough book for windows phone developers! I liked the overall style and presentation of the book. If you are just starting off with windows phone development and have a good background in C# & XAML then the book will prove a valuable asset in your quest to become an app developer. As this book cover the internal of windows phone development, prior knowledge of a .NET language and XAML is highly recommended. The book starts off with a background on the architecture and vision of windows phone. This information is very important as this will be the founding stone in your journey. It then deals with the app model, navigation, UI design, web connection and how to retrieve and play around with the device and its media services etc. These are very interesting chapters which help you familiarize yourself with the landscape of app development.
There is a separate part in the book that discusses the migration from windows phone 7 to 8. It is very helpful for existing programs that need migration to the new OS. The same section also discusses how to create/work with live tiles, retrieve and work around the calendar/photos/maps etc. I enjoyed working with tiles/notification as this has been a differentiating area for windows from other mobile platforms.
Part 3 of the books is all about new features of windows phone 8. It teaches how to make use of the wallet feature as well as how to work around speech functionality of the phone. It explains in detail how app developers can make money by using the AdControl. Afterall, the very purpose of app development is to make some pocket change. You can learn to create apps for your company, if your company allows to do so.
