Windows Phone 8: More Than An App
Details
Abstract
The normal view of working with phone apps is open, use, close, and forget. The Windows Phone team took that view and turned it around by providing a dozen ways to bring our apps to life outside of the context of the traditional app sandbox. In this talk, we’ll cover the ways that our app can integrate into the phone and become less of an app and more of an extension to the device that provides information and functionality even when it is not being actively used.
