Converting to Windows8 from WP | Looking back–what would we do differently (12 of 12) - by Andreas Hammar , Håkan Reis and Peter von Lochow

We started with a Windows Phone application and converted it to a Windows 8 equivalent. The end result was far from a clone, neither visually nor in function, but that was never the goal. The goal was to take a real application through the trembling steps of converting into a fully functional prototype on Windows 8.

The idea of this last post in the series is to look back and discuss what we had done differently building the Windows Phone app, knowing what we know now.

This post is a part in a series - you can find the full index here.
