To communicate or not to communicate…?
Posted by Vito Dimercurio – August 12, 2010…the Windows Phone 7 SDK makes this a pretty easy question to answer. I mean, sure, it’s a phone – but how many ways do we stay connected to the world around us these days? To that end, we decided to throw together a couple of simple prototypes to see how easy it was to build the roots of those basic apps everyone’s going to want… The ones that use Facebook and Twitter.
Simple implementation of the Silverlight Facebook API.
By default, the current version of the WP7 SDK does not support System.Windows.Browser, so the out of the box Facebook binaries aren’t going to work. However, with a few quick “corrections” we are up and running in no time!
Simple Twitter feed
50 lines of C# and 40 lines of XAML gets you this not pretty but functional (Creative Teams around the world just felt a disturbance in the force) Twitter feed.
So, short story even shorter; our good friends at MSFT realize how important these various forms of communication are to us and have generously made it very easy to quickly build our own apps leveraging some of the most popular Social Networks in the world!
