Editor's Notes
- #8: Intro – References our dedication to top apps, total apps, quality apps. What we’re up against Apps – a lot of work to do, focused on top apps Trajectory – Fastest ever, differentiated experiences, multiple app stores, common core Get lighthouse wins
- #9: Exciting things here today, coming soon and in the works As MS moves forward – thinking of self as a devices and services company Family of devices, with integrated high value experiences Extensible to businesses Think of a person first, give what they want – great device with great services they value Then give biz what they need – ability to manage, secure, scale
- #10: NFL Fantasy Football: Description: The ONLY Official, native, NFL Fantasy football app outside of their NFL.com browser experience. NFL Fantasy allows the NFL.com registered user to manage all aspects of their fantasy league once the draft for their league has taken place. Only available on Windows 8, nothing on iPad or Android tablet. The iPhone and Android phone apps are just web views that load their mobile site. Scope: An app with a Game Center console consisting of dynamic data from your personal fantasy league matchups, a Hub Screen with many of the other available information feeds, integrated video right from within the app as opposed to hopping out to a website for highlights, Windows integration (live tile, toasts), Live Charts, Player cards, My Team, Roster management and data analytics to help predict your performance Developer Story: Native Windows 8 app written with HTML/JS leveraging popular OSS CSS/JS frameworks, written by a shop that specializes in web. Easy transition of skills from web to Windows. Brilliantly combines NFL.com UI with Windows 8 design patterns. App implemented with minimal impact to existing back-end infrastructure. Entire app written and published in four weeks.
