Build 2 apps for the price of one using MVVM and Portable Class Libraries

Presented by: Tom Walker

If you are not using MVVM or PCL in your app development you are doing it wrong. First we will do a brief introduction on MVVM and Portable Class Libraries. Next, we will cover how to architect our app to take advantage of using MVVM to avoid hard coupling between model and view. PCL will give us the ability to share our business logic and model across both Windows Phone and Windows Store clients. The other area I will be addressing in the session is how to abstract the navigation service so we can build a common navigation interface for both Windows Phone and Windows Store. This session will provide you with the knowledge to better architect your app concepts to build both Windows Phone and Windows Store clients at the same time.
