As you may have seen, the past few weeks have been building up to the launch of Windows Phone 7. We’ve covered a lot of developer-related news, including the Silverlight Media Framework, the Windows Phone 7 developer toolkit and more.
Now that Windows Phone 7 has been officially launched and its availability dates published, it’s time to finish off your applications ready for the Marketplace. One of the key components of an application should be the ability to track how users use the application. This allows you to work out bugs, focus your development and see how your users are making most use of your application.
There are many services which offer device and application based analytics packages, such as Google Analytics, Omniture, Quantcast, Webtrends and many more which are already popular in the enterprise. You can now make use of all of the mentioned services and more in your Windows Phone 7 application with the latest release of the Microsoft Silverlight Analytics Framework.
The Silverlight Analytics Framework is an open-source project that provides developers with an easy way to integrate the analytics provider of their choice in their application, tracking use patterns and much more. Its new version not only provides for regular desktop Silverlight but also the Silverlight that runs on Windows Phone 7. It also allows for video tracking in conjunction with the Silverlight Media Framework.
The Silverlight Analytics Framework is available on Codeplex; you can keep up with all the developer-related Windows Phone 7 news on Developer Fusion.
