I'm pretty aimless usually but once I get a grip on something I get good fast - it's just that Phone dev is somewhere I've been nebulously interested in, but never got around do because I didn't commit to it.

What are the ideal tools and training resources to get started? I have a few things I want to do, and when I get good enough I want to participate in some of the app challenges.

Not exactly lacking for money, so I don't mind paying for the best tools / resources to get started. ]]> Software Development and Hacking shlomo80 http://forums.wpcentral.com/software-development-hacking/226775-what-do-i-ideally-need-get-started.html Should I be using GestureListener for image zoom, pan etc.. in Windows Phone 8? http://forums.wpcentral.com/software-development-hacking/226657-should-i-using-gesturelistener-image-zoom-pan-etc-windows-phone-8-a.html Thu, 16 May 2013 01:46:20 GMT Hi, I have an image viewing sample app and I wish to provide zoom, pan and flick functionality.

I have an image viewing sample app and I wish to provide zoom, pan and flick functionality. I plan on using the GestureListener class, however this is deprecated in the Silverlight Windows phone toolkit since Nov 2011. (http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2011/11/...1phonetoolkit/)
So doing something like this would not be recommended I guess.(http://wintellect.com/blogs/jprosise...-phones-part-4)

Code:
<Image Source="Dubai.jpg" Width="2048" Height="480" CacheMode="BitmapCache">
        <toolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>
            <toolkit:GestureListener DragDelta="OnDragDelta"
                Flick="OnFlick" DoubleTap="OnDoubleTap" />
        </toolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>
        <Image.RenderTransform>
            <TranslateTransform x:Name="PanTransform"/>
        </Image.RenderTransform>
        <Image.Resources>
Can someone please point me to some other solution and tutorials so that I can implement this. Also please tell me if my app would be rejected in case I use the deprecated methods.

Please note I have used Manipulation Events but the zoom is really choppy as commented here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...s-phone-8?lq=1 and everything is not as smooth as GestureListeners.


Thanks in advance. ]]> Software Development and Hacking crash1989 http://forums.wpcentral.com/software-development-hacking/226657-should-i-using-gesturelistener-image-zoom-pan-etc-windows-phone-8-a.html World wide data collection http://forums.wpcentral.com/software-development-hacking/226403-world-wide-data-collection.html Tue, 14 May 2013 07:42:11 GMT Hi, I'm planning to developing a free app where it requires people around the world to contribute. I'm thinking I'm only living in a small part of the world and I can only contribute to areas around me. In order for people to download and use this app, I must at least have some data/information initially to get them started otherwise it is pointless to even download it. How do I go about doing it? Any ideas would be welcome. Of course, I can appeal to my friends. ]]> Software Development and Hacking tslu69 http://forums.wpcentral.com/software-development-hacking/226403-world-wide-data-collection.html Image stabilization lens-app? http://forums.wpcentral.com/software-development-hacking/225279-image-stabilization-lens-app.html Thu, 02 May 2013 02:17:17 GMT Am using 820 now and wondering since haven't seen any: wouldn't be possible to build a lens-app that does image stabilization closely matching the hardware-based Pureview in 920?
