This article will be what my co-worker and friend Ryan Lowdermilk likes to refer to as a “SEO piece”. What Ryan means is while it may not make for easy chair reading, it will still meet a need for those searching for a particular piece of information. The information in this article is how commonly used Windows Phone APIs and XAML features map (or do not map) to their Windows 8 counterparts.
There won’t be a lot of dialog in this article. I’ll mention what the API is used for, show the Windows Phone version and show the Windows 8 version. If there are any important tricks to note, I’ll list those too.
