Phone app development

Let's say you have a great idea for a Windows Phone app, but don't know how to start. Who better than Microsoft to hold your hand through the entire process . The Redmond based software giant's Generation App has a tagline that goes, " Start with an idea. Code that idea. Then market it to the masses ". And while that is an obviously streamlined version of what is a much more complex process, Microsoft will show you what to do in just 30 days. The first step after coming up with your brilliant idea is to go to the 30tolaunch.com website. At the site you will find some apps that went through the Generation App process and are now listed in the Windows Phone Marketplace. That should give you incentive. With the program, Microsoft divides the work of building an app into weekly chunks of tasks . For example, in week one you learn the principle of Metro UI design, build a Silverlight application and a slash screen for your app. And by the end of week one, you will have already … [Read more...] about Microsoft will hold your hand and help you build a Windows Phone app in 30 days with Generation App

According to a new survey of app developers, those writing apps for the Windows Phone platform spend more time on designing their apps, than those who write for other platforms. Windows Phone developers spend 30.2% of their time on designing their apps compared to the 21.3% of the time spent on that endeavor by iOS developers, and the 19.1% used by Android developers.On the other hand, you might expect Windows Phone apps to be more buggy than apps on other platforms. While they are spending more of them time on app design, Windows Phone developers spend the least amount of time on de-bugging their handiwork. Android users spend 36.1% of their working time on exterminating bugs versus 24.2% for iOS developers, and  just 19.8% for Windows Phone app writers. On the other hand, they spend the most time pushing out updates (6.3% versus 4.2% for Android developers, and 3.7% of iOS writers).Responses from 464 developers worldwide were captured in the survey. You can check out the results … [Read more...] about Windows Phone app developers spend more time on app design than developers for other platforms

You can't really compare three app stores which are with their own unique and different ecosystems to each other with their respected devs. Silly. posted on 02 Sep 2014, 22:10 3 7. sgodsell (Posts: 5813; Member since: 16 Mar 2013) Just some bogus crap from Microsoft again.

More than 1000 developers were surveyed for InMobi’s State of Mobile App Developers 2016 report. And if you're sitting down, we'd like to pass along the results of the survey. The average Windows Phone developer made more than twice what the average Android code jockey grossed in a month. Shocked? There's more. That same average Windows Phone developer took in 50% more than the average iOS developer.Despite those numbers, 86% of the developers wrote for Android, 56% for iOS and just 21% did their thing for Windows Phone. Yet, the latter developers grossed on average $11,400 per month. The monthly figures for Android and iOS were $4900 and $8100 respectively. 49% of the Windows Phone developers take in more than $10,000 a month. 45% of Android developers reach that number while 53% of iOS users gross that amount.How can Windows Phone developers out gross iOS and Android developers writing for a platform that very few actually use?' InMobi says that Windows Phone developers have … [Read more...] about Report: Windows Phone app developers gross twice as much as their Android counterparts
