Building My first Windows Phone 7 App: How To Install Silverlight For Windows Phone?

-

I have decided to get a little bit of "hands-on" experience with Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 Developers Tools.

I decided I will create a series of posts about my experience as a developer for Windows Phone 7. I still don't know what my goals are or what kind of app will I build eventually, but I figured it would be an interesting experience for me and my readers, here, a the mobile spoon.

First thing's first: Installing the Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools.

I downloaded it from here: Download Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools, and tried to install…. BOOK, got this ugly message box:

uninstallvisualstudio2010beta2_thumb

Visual Studio setup cannot run in compatibility mode. For more information see the 'Installing' section in the

Visual Studio Readme at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=143397.

Great… Now what?

No worries, boys and girls, I found a solution… (Funny how Google actually helped me solve my Microsoft problem…) here it is:

You need to remove the compatibility mode from the file you are trying to install. It is done by right clicking the file, selecting "properties" and going to the "compatibility" tab and un-checking the compatibility checkbox.

Simple.

Now my installation is running, and I cannot wait to open my first Windows Phone 7 Project… I bet it will look like this…

A List of All Operating Systems Running on Smartwatches [Wearables]

Traveling back from MWC15, I went over my smartwatch notes and noticed many of the Android players demonstrated smartwatches which were not running Android Wear. In an attempt to better understand the smartwatch market I’ve collected the names (and details) of the different operating systems used by today’s (and tomorrow’s) smartwatches. I’m happy to share with your the definitely incomplete list of wearable operating systems! Smartwatch Operating System – A Fragmented WorldAndroid WearProbably the OS with the fastest progress, Android Wear was recently reported to account for just 15% of smartwatch sales in 2014 (total of 700,000 devices). That’s not much, mainly because the platform was only introduced in the middle of the year and still suffers from serious limitations and battery life challenges. Android Wear OS is designed to be paired with Android smartphones (version 4.3 and on), but there are already rumors that an iOS app will be available soon. Android Wear is available most…

Recently I've been thinking about the "I" meaning in all of Apple's products: iPod, iPad, iPhone… what's the "i" for? Internet? Nowadays it's not that cool any longer, isn't it? Internet is a given. Is it "i" like "me"? I looked for an answer and found it in an interesting article that included the following:"It was early 1997 and Steven P. Jobs had just recently returned to Apple as Interim Chief Executive Officer (At first he was just there to help and publicly stated that he did not want the full-time job at the time). Apple was about 6 months from full insolvency and company morale was at an all time low. There were warring factions and fiefdoms pitting any number of internal groups against each other, with each assigning blame for Apple’s slow demise. Steve Jobs spent his first few months cutting irrelevant products. He felt that there were two very important products to focus on: The Mac Product Line and The PowerB…
