Lumia App Labs 18: Introducing Nokia Imaging SDK 1.0

The Nokia Imaging SDK just graduated from beta, the code library that helps you efficiently work with images captured and stored by Windows Phone 8 devices. In this webinar Nokia technology wizard Berthier Lemieux starts with a quick overview of Nokia Imaging SDK 1.0, just in case you haven’t worked with it yet. Then he jumps into live coding demonstrations to show you how to use the SDK in applications that make the most of the imaging capabilities of Nokia Lumia phones. Throughout the code demos, he’ll highlight new functionality in this SDK release. He’ll demonstrate the new architecture, the chroma key filter (“green screen”), and gradients. He’ll also show you how to change filters dynamically.

Il pattern MVVM: come strutturare al meglio il vostro progetto

Quando ci si trova nella necessità di sviluppare applicazioni per Microsoft Windows Phone più complesse, l’approccio tradizionale mostra qualche limite: non c’è una separazione tra i vari strati dell’applicazione e il codice è più difficile da testare e da mantenere. Questo webinar vi mostrerà le basi del pattern Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM), che offre un approccio più strutturato, in grado di separare la parte di logica dall’interfaccia grafica.
