Windows Phone 7 – design / content separationIt seems as though Windows Phone have taken a leaf from web design when it came to developing the Windows Phone Dev platform, as design is separated from the ‘functional’ code in a similar way to the relationship between html and css. (Not saying that design doesn’t serve a function, but you know what we mean!) The various parts can be styled separately, allowing developers to get an app working in a basic state before handing it over to designers to make the whole thing attractive and user friendly. A great example can be found over on the Microsoft blog, as the designer wasn’t even aware they were working on a phone app! Is this Microsoft removing yet another barrier to development, by allowing for app coders who may not have a penchant for design? |
