"Mango" is the code name for the upcoming release of the Windows Phone application platform. As youve no doubt read in countless other locations, there are lots of new features and capabilities being added in "Mango" which will benefit both users as well as application developers. In this episode, I meet with Peter Torr, from the Windows Phone Application Platform Team to specifically focus on the new multi-tasking support that "Mango" will enable. Peter also shares a few details on his favorite feature of "Mango"—its ability to organize your contacts together in "groups," which makes it easier for you to keep track of, and interact with, the people important to you. You can find more information about Multi-Tasking on Windows Phone "Mango" here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ptorr/ Peter Torrs Blog
Peter focuses on a few different things on his blog, but has recently posted a few entries specifically dealing with supporting background agents, alarms, and notifications that "Mango" makes available. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/WP7MangoTrainingCourse Windows Phone "Mango" Training Course
MSDN has published a training kit for Windows Phone developers that will help them get up to speed with some of the new features in Windows Phone "Mango." http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2011/WPH308 Multi-Tasking and Application Switching for Windows Phone
