Now that it is officially released, the natural question is “How do I find a developer for Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Series mobile OS?”  All mobile app developers are essentially starting out at the ground floor when it comes to experience developing apps for Windows Phone 7.  Here are a few tips on what to look for when selecting your Windows Phone 7 mobile app developer.

Microsoft Gold Certified Partner

The first step in finding the right Windows Phone 7 Series app developer is to look for a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.  These developers have demonstrated their technical expertise and ability to deliver solutions with Microsoft products.  Each MS Gold Certified Partner must employ a minimum number of Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCPs), and the typical Microsoft Certified Partner has been in business more than five years.  When you work with a Gold Certified Partner, you know that you are dealing with qualified professionals who have verified expertise.  Furthermore, Gold Certified Partners have 24 x 7 x 365 access to support from Microsoft to make sure your project gets the highest level of support. 

Mobile App Development Experience

Developing a mobile app is a specialization in a software development.  You can’t expect developers whose experience is only in PC-based applications to deliver the best solutions for a mobile app.  To complicate matters, when you’re talking about a completely new platform like Windows Phone 7 Series, there is no broad knowledge-base for inexperienced developers to draw on.  Therefore, your best bet is to choose a developer with extensive experience creating mobile apps for a broad variety of platforms and applications including those for iPhone and Android.

Expertise in Silverlight, XNA and .NET

Having implemented lots of successful projects based Microsoft technology we decided to show our expertise taking part in Microsoft Partner Program.

The level of CactusSoft technical experience and success at the international market allowed us to become a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. Most of our engineers passed Microsoft certification exams. Plus we passed a customer satisfaction survey. We are really proud that our clients reported satisfaction level is 8% higher than the average index of the other Gold Partners.

The company’s new status brings significant benefits to our clients:

·         Extensive development experience proved by Microsoft. We passed a thorough examination of our competence that included developers’ certification and customer satisfaction survey.

·         Direct 24 x 7 x 365 Microsoft support for your project. Technology is rapidly changing and it is crucially important to keep up with growing customer needs.

It takes into account users’ current location to provide information concerning bicycle tracks, heritage sites and other points of interests nearby.

CactusSoft was contracted to develop this LBSN (Location Based Social Network) from scratch, including server part and mobile clients.
