The Windows Phone 8 and its SDK were presented these days.
This new OS has a shared core between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. Specifically the kernel, the network stack (IPV6, Bluetooth, NFC), file system, multimedia, graphics support (Direct 3D).
Microsoft invites the developers to use the C++. This mean the next apps will have more performances at games level. It results an incompatibility with the Windows Phones presently on the market.
In parallel, Microsoft announce the third party tools for all the developers.
For native programming, some editors propose render API, audio library or WP8 framework like Unity Technology, Hovok, Marmalade, Autodesk or Ogre.
The web programmer can take a look at PhoneGap, Appcelerator or Sencha and the C#/XMAL programmer at MVVM Light Toolkit from GalaSoft, RadControls, XMAL Spy or Xamarin Mobile.
