As you may know that Windows Phone is the latest mobile phone OS by Microsoft and got very good attention from the end users. Microsoft is strongly leveraging the Windows Phone 7 platform. Unlike Google or Apple, they are trying to engage developers from around the world to make their Marketplace richer. It’s a great opportunity that developers from around the world can legally develop and sell Windows Phone Applications on the Marketplace.

To start developing, you can download the Windows Phone SDK Online Installer from here or the Offline Installer from here and start developing.

For those who do not want to download the big files can use an alternate method. The download will be smaller in that case but you need to have Visual Studio 2010 (or higher) installed on your computer.

  1. You need to have Visual Studio 2010 installed on your computer.
  2. You also need to have Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1.
  3. Download & install Microsoft Web Platform Installer (Web PI) from here.
  4. Run Web PI as Administrator-

    ..
  5. After some time, it will refresh the product list. Once you see the list you can find Windows Phone SDK there. Click on the Add button-

    ..
  6. You can see the Windows Phone SDK’s size is less than 4MB.

    You can hit “I Accept” button to get going. In total you will not download more than 15MB 🙂

Once your application is ready, you can go to http://create.msdn.com/ and publish your app to the marketplace.

Developers from some country may not find their name listed on the website. Well, don’t get upset as Microsoft has Global Publisher Program for you. To know more about Global Publisher Program please visit the Global Publisher page on MSDN.

Enjoy developing and make money 🙂

Firefox’s Extension Paste and Go 3

Just released Firefox’s Extension Paste and Go version 3.

Actually I didn’t make it from the scratch, I just update it to make it work with Mozilla Firefox 3.x.x and it’s working fine (this release will work on Firefox 1.5 to 3.x.x). Here I’ll try to show you how the extension will ease the use of Mozilla Firefox.

Use of the extension:
Most of the time while we surf the internet, we have to copy some URL and paste the URL on the address field and hit enter or click the go button. Now this extension for Firefox will ease the the whole process. You have to copy an URL, right click on the address field and select “Paste and Go” That’s it!

Installation:
Go to: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9133 with Mozilla Firefox, on the page and you will see a button like this:

Currently Mozilla left the extension as experimental extension, so you have to check the box “Let me install this experimental add-on” to add this extension on your Firefox browser. You can also download the extension by clicking here.

Click on the “Add to Firefox” button and a window like this will appear:

Click on the “Install Now” button to install the extension and the extension will be installed on Firefox. You will notice a progress like this:

A window like this will appear after the installation is finished:

Click on the “Restart Now” button to restart Firefox and make the extension work for you. If you are doing something important, you can restart Firefox later. But only after restarting Firefox the extension will start working,

After restarting Firefox, you will see a notification that one extension is installed.

Close the window and continue using Firefox.

Now whenever you need to copy an URL and paste it on the address bar, just copy the URL and right click on the address bar and select paste and go. 😛

Hope this will be useful for you and you will enjoy the extension. If you encounter any problem, please leave a message.

Update, 16 September 2009: Released 1.0.4 with Simplified Chinese translation.
