User Experience Frameworks Modern XAML/event- driven application UI framework Rapid creation of visually rich apps HTML/Javascript Mature, robust, widely deployed technology GAMES (and applications) APPLICATIONS (and games)

The XNA Framework Game Loop is layered on top of the Silverlight Application object on Windows Phone 7 Provides the bulk of integration of API’s Most of the XNA Framework can be accessed from Silverlight applications Including Gamer Services (Xbox LIVE) In this release some sharing/composition is not complete Scenes using GraphicsDevice from XNA Framework and UIElements from Silverlight You’ll want to choose the technology that works best for your scenarios Bridging the Gap

Graphics UI control heavy consider Silverlight Desire vector graphics in XAML Media Rich video support in application Tooling If you use Microsoft Blend in your pipeline Choosing the Right Technology

Graphics Using 3D graphics Sprite heavy 2D applications should consider the XNA Framework Game Loop Simulation/Drawing Those who prefer a traditional update/ draw/present frame loop Tooling Those who want to use the XNA Framework Content Pipeline graphics types Leveraging the Right Technology
