During this video, Andy and I show developers how to leverage patterns for the asynchronous use of networking APIs in Windows Phone 8.
Topics include WebClient, HttpWebRequest, Listener Sockets, Web Services, OData V3, Data Compression support, Simulation Dashboard, Data Sense and apps. Storing data in Skydrive, encryption and authentication are also covered. Accessing services running on localhost from the emulator is demystified.
