Microsoft is generating accessible a toolkit designed to help developers creating Windows Phone seven purposes that use Windows Azure cloud services.
The new Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone 7 is downloadable in the Microsoft Codeplex site,
Office 2007 Serial, as of this month. (Release date was March 8, but the announcement date was today,
Microsoft Office Professional 2010, March 23.)
The toolkit includes Visual Studio venture templates for Windows Mobile phone seven and Windows Azure, class libraries optimized for use to the telephone,
Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key, sample programs, and documentation. Prerequisites for making use of the toolkit include Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional (or greater) –or both Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express and Microsoft Visual Studio2010 Express for Windows Telephone; Windows Phone Developer Tools; Online Information Solutions 7 (IIS7); and Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (November Release).
There are plans for additional drops of the toolkit that will add new capabilities and functionality, including Notification companies for Windows Phone seven (and other devices) that run in Windows Azure; support for the Windows Azure Marketplace (codenamed Dallas); multiple NuGet packages and more.
This is neither the first Windows Mobile phone seven toolkit nor the first Windows Azure tookit from Microsoft. In January 2011, Microsoft Research made accessible for download a developer preview of its Windows Phone 7 + Cloud Solutions Software Development Kit (SDK). Last year, the Redmondians delivered a Windows Azure Toolkit for Facebook,
Office Professional 2007, which was designed to streamline development of Facebook (and other) purposes that connect to Windows Azure Table Storage and SQL Server.
Yahoo made utilization of Windows Azure to develop its Flickr WP7 application,
Office 2010 Key, by the way.
