Today we talked to Nikola Mihaylov, a developer in the Expression Blend team. Nikola is the developer of Fantasia Painter, an extremely highly ranked photo editing app for Windows Phone. Nikola walked us through his app, and talked a bit about how he implemented various aspects of the app. He describes himself as obsessed with performance, and had a few very interesting practices to share in that regard. Per our usual practices, here are some relevant and interesting links: Fantasia Painter in the Windows Phone Marketplace, ( http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/bfb9c8f3-1c4e-e011-854c-00237de2db9e Free and http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/1e2ccc81-d2f9-df11-9264-00237de2db9e Paid ) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff967560(v=vs.92) Performance Considerations for Windows Phone Developers in the MSDN Library Mike Battistas recent posts on WP app optimization: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2012/04/03/optimize-startup-time.aspx Optimize Startup Time http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2012/04/10/reduce-memory-usage.aspx Reduce Memory Usage http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2012/04/24/respond-to-user-input.aspx Responding to User Input Pratap Lakshmans recent posts on using the WP Profiler http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2012/02/01/memory-profiling-for-application-performance.aspx Memory Profiling for Application Performance http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2012/04/19/memory-profiling-launching-graphs-and-markers.aspx Memory Profiling - Launching, Graphs and Markers http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2012/05/10/memory-profiling-the-heap-summary-view.aspx Memory Profiling - The Heap Summary View Let us know if you have any questions Larry Lieberman, https://twitter.com/#!/larryalieberman" target="_blank @larryalieberman <img src="http://m.webtrends.com/dcs1wotjh10000w0irc493s0e_6x1g/njs.gif?dcssip=channel9.msdn.com&dcsuri=http://channel9.msdn.com/Feeds/RSS&WT.dl=0&WT.entryid=Entry:RSSView:988b6f4125e5440ca7c2a052001664ae
