I have chosen specifically to attempt this using the Native Javascript app feature found in the latest GDR of Windows Phone 8.1. My reasons for trying this route are as follows: Javascript is well documented and according to the latest statistics, the most popular programming language in the world. For its time, the browser on WP was fast according to benchmarks. https://northsky.sgi.sh/posts/useful-development-resources-for-old-windows-phone/ Sat, 29 Oct 2022 23:35:10 +0300 https://northsky.sgi.sh/posts/useful-development-resources-for-old-windows-phone/ Currently I think the best toolset for developing apps and demos for Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1 is definitely Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition combined with the 8.0 and 8.1 SDKs. Here on this page of my journal I am going to document useful resources that help with developing for the platform. This list of mine is going to be updated when I find new resources. If I am missing any useful ones, please contact me through the usual channels and I’ll add it to the list. https://northsky.sgi.sh/posts/how-to-start-developing-for-old-windows-phone/ Sun, 09 Oct 2022 21:15:10 +0300 https://northsky.sgi.sh/posts/how-to-start-developing-for-old-windows-phone/ How to Start Developing for Old Windows Phone Background Through a discussion on a Discord server, I was motivated to try and make something for Windows Phone 8(.1). I had an old Nokia Lumia 920 sitting in a drawer, which actually was my first flagship phone that I have ever bought, so why not try do something interesting with it. Here I have documented my findings in getting a toolchain running for the phone.
