The Challenge

To make sure we always keep up with the leading edge .NET technologies and applications. Windows Phone 7 is an exciting opportunity for Code Authority, it give us a chance to leverage our software design expertise on Microsoft’s cutting edge mobile platform.

The Solution

We decided that we needed to be at the front of the line on this by building a free application that demonstrated some of the useful capabilities of the platform.

We built an application for the games of the Texas Lottery. This application randomly picks the numbers for up to five lines per game and saves those numbers to the phone. After the drawing for each game the user can then easily check their numbers with the push of a button.

The Benefits

Producing this app introduces our programmers to all the steps it takes to develop for the Window’s Phone 7 platform. This also demonstrates that we, as a company, are passionate about developing for emerging platforms.
