60. Demo: Upgrading a Silverlight 8.0 app to 8.1

61. Windows Phone 8.1 Platform Principles
4/24/2018
Windows Phone 8.1 Platform Principles
Primary features:
Existing Windows Phone 8 apps run flawlessly
Windows Runtime XAML platform and HTML/WinJS support brings convergence with Windows 8.1, and is faster and uses less memory than Silverlight
The core of an app can be built once for Windows and Windows Phone; you can share elements of UI, though it’s best to tailor the user experience for each platform
Convergence is not just in the developer platform: it spans tools, store, commerce
Developer investment in the existing Silverlight platform is protected: Existing Silverlight apps can be upgraded to access new Windows Phone 8.1 platform capabilities     
Now is the time to build for Windows and Windows Phone!
