Chapter 1
Introduction
This chapter describes the groundwork you need to perform before writing Windows Phone 8 applications including:
The particular skill sets in Windows 8, Visual Studio, and Windows Phone 8 that you need to
have to get the most from this book.
PC and phone hardware requirements to support the development environment.
Software requirements for the operating system and the Visual Studio development
environment.
Why Upgrade to Windows Phone 8?
Microsoft’s intent is to lead and not follow in the race to create a superior phone operating system. Windows
Phone 8 takes advantages of all the latest hardware features, such as Near Field Communications (NFC), while
Windows Phone 7.x applications will still run “out of the box.” The clean user interface favors content over “chrome”
and is easy to learn. From the developer’s perspective, Windows Phone 8 is simply a lot of fun to develop on and is
quite productive. Having worked with the Android platform and having a nodding aquintanceship with iOS,
Windows Phone 8 is clearly my platform of choice.
What You Need to Know
You should be able to navigate the Windows 8 environment, at least to the point where you can get to the Start screen,
search for applications on the PC, and run applications.
You should be familiar with the Visual Studio environment, be able to create projects, add project items, and
assembly references. You should know how to code in either Visual Basic .NET or C#. The code for this book is
presented in C#. If you already use XAML, you will have a good head start learning Windows Phone 8 development.
In particular, this book will not specifically include
using
statements in code listings except for unusual
circumstances. When Visual Studio encounters a member that it cannot resolve, the editor underlines the member
with a wavy red line. You should right-click the member and choose the
Resolve
context menu option to add the
using
statement automatically. In cases where the namespace includes extensions, such as
System.Linq,
Visual Studio will not offer the Resolve context menu. In these cases, the instructions or code listings will include
the specific
using
statements.
Spend some time learning the features and operation of Windows Phone 8 devices, including unlocking the
screen, navigating from the Start screen, and “pinning” tiles. The link below should get you started:

Chapter 1
IntroduCtIon
What You Need to Have
To get started with Windows Phone 8 development, you will need some specific hardware and software. In this
section, we’ll cover the requirements for:
PC Hardware requirements
Phone Hardware Requirements
Operating system requirements
The Windows Phone 8 SDK
Visual Studio
PC Hardware Requirements
Your PC must have
Hyper V
and
SLAT
support. Hyper V is required to run virtual machines, namely the Windows
Phone 8 emulator. SLAT (Second Level Address Translation) is used by Hyper V to translate virtualized guest
addresses to real physical addresses. The bottom line is that you need to enable virtualization in your PC BIOS settings
for Hyper V and SLAT. The specific settings will vary according to your PC’s BIOS setup. Older machines may not have
these settings available.
How do you know if you’re good to go? There are a number of software utilities that assess hardware and
firmware. Microsoft offers a command line tool, Coreinfo, that lists virtualization capabilities. Find Coreinfo for
download at Technet:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc835722.aspx
Run CoreInfo from the developer command line as an administrator:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Navigate to the Windows 8 Start screen.
Type “Command” to search on and select the available command line applications.
Locate the “Developer Command Prompt for VS2012” application in the results list,
right-click, and select Run as administrator from the app bar.
Change your directory (cd) to the folder that contains
Coreinfo.exe.
Run the command
coreinfo –v.
The command will list information relating to virtualization capabilities. The output below shows a sample run of
Coreinfo on a laptop that is ready for Windows Phone 8 development. The hyphen in the HYPERVISOR line indicates
that the Hypervisor is present but not enabled. Asterisks in the VMX and EPT lines indicate that hardware-assisted
virtualization and SLAT support are supported.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\Download\Coreinfo
C:\Download\Coreinfo>coreinfo -v
