A Windows Phone Live Tile represents your app on your phone's Start screen. It's important to build an engaging, clear representation of what your app is and does to your end users. This course helps you understand the three tile types (flip, iconic, and cycle), create the design assets for each one, and build the tiles themselves. Author Doug Winnie also shows you how to work with secondary tiles—which enable your users to launch within a specific part inside the app to pin to their Start screen.
Topics include:
- What are Live Tiles?
- Working with tile XAML templates
- Building design assets
- Packaging tiles
- Building secondary tiles
