UNO HD Offered as Windows Phone 7 'Deal of the Week'

I was planning to wait for the Mango was released before I downloaded Microsoft phone tools.
Windows 7 Phone App Roundup April 19 2011File Under: NewsBy: Daniel Webster | 9:12 p.m.
Two things changed my mind, Mix 2011, and this book.
19-Apr-11 | Comments In this episode of Windows 7 Phone App Roundup we demonstrate five applications of 30 seconds each.
When I saw this book coming out I pre-ordered it immediately.
These apps will entertain, help you take better pictures, and capture the would be burglar.
The author calls his book unconventional.
To download these programs directly to your WP7 device, just click on the title of the application and the Zune software will automatically launch the app in the Market Place.
The question I had was this will be unconventional in a good way or a bad way.
If you have free Microsoft Tag program installed on your WP7 smartphone simply snap a picture of the tag image and Mobile Marketplace will navigate to the app burglar alarm A free applicationBurglar Alarm is a simple app that will prevent a thief from running off of with your smartphone.
I am happy to report the book is unconventionally awesome! The book is divided into eight parts.
The app works directly with standard WP7 lock screen.
1 - Getting Started, 2 - Transforms&Animations, 3 - Storage and retrieval of local data, 4 - Pivot, Panorama, Charts, and Graphs, 5 - Audio&Video, 6 - Microphone, 7 - Touch&Multi-Touch, 8 - accelerometer tricks, and then 5 handy attachment that contains a XAML Reference Resources Reference Theme, Animation Easing Reference, and a geometry Reference.
If someone picks up the Windows 7 Phone smart phone alarm sounds.
The book is designed to be read from front to back.
The included tools ranging from a calculator into a seismometer
The author builds on themes he goes, but it also makes a great reference.
.
Each chapter is a program that teaches a subject.
It is even more integration in the Bing Maps GPS Tool
Appendix A, there are lessons index arranged by subject, and refers to chapters that covers it. For example, the Background Worker is listed as covered in Chapters 11, 24 and 25 Throughout the book there are sidebars that answer questions, dig deeper, offer tips, and give warnings. There is no filler / fluff in this book that is not true for many books these days, especially since the 1130 books! Each chapter covers and shows the XAML and code behind. It makes it possible to read the book without having a computer code nearby. I still do not have a Windows phone (I'm writing this review in OneNote for iPhone). The author points out the inconvenience during development. Not being able to test on a real phone can really come back to bit you if you are deployed to the Windows Phone Market Place. Although he points out where to get one for development purposes (without a voice or data plan) are $ 500.00. It is not going to fly.

I wish Microsoft would buy up a bunch of refurbished them and sell them at a reasonable price
PhotoWiz A small and $ 2.99 full version As summer approaches all seem to be out with their cameras
.
.
I'll buy a Microsoft Mouse Touch as soon as they become available to assist with programming for gestures
PhotoWiz is an easy to use pocket guide that provides tips and hints to capture the perfect shot
.
.
The downloadable code is candy
Use the calculator to know exactly what setting you need for your camera
.
.
It contains no copies of the applications the author has published the Windows Phone Marketplace
Harbor Master Trial and $ 2.99 fullversion harbor master is an addictive Xbox Live online game where you must guide incoming ships to their ports to drop off cargo
.
.
It is a fully functional program for each chapter
As with Flight Control, Harbor Master is quite challenging to prevent ships from colliding with each other
.
.
The book is in colour so it's a pleasure to read
There are many maps available for the full version
.
.
The author has a great writing style
Juice Factory A free program Juice Factory is a fun game where you have to throw a good in the air to turn various fruits
.
.
I have not put the book down since it came
There are some obstacles that will come in the way so be careful
.
.
The one problem you have is that many of the programs are simply fun to play, so you may find yourself getting side tracked
Collect enough juice to move on to the next level and increase your salary and production
.
.
I've been bugging my dog \u200b\u200bwith the talking parrot the sounds and played darts much
.
This is without doubt the most fun I've had to read a book a long time! With Mango just around the corner, now is the time to get up to speed on Windows Phone
.
This book makes it fun to learn the platform
.
All in all, if you're interested in Windows phone development at all, this book is a must! It will definitely be a classic. This is one of the best programming books I own, and I own many of them
