Get the Windows Phone API in a nice poster

The Windows Phone API, a nice resource to have.

Posterpedia is an interactive app (for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8) that uses technical posters as a reference for understanding Microsoft technologies. This graphical, easy to understand format, links directly to Microsoft TechNet and Microsoft MSDN content. Remember those huge and neat paper posters that started circulating about a decade ago with Visual Studio and .NET technologies? Well, this is the same proposition in a digital and more manageable format. Visit http://www.serverposterpedia.com/, though you could also get them individually in PDF format. This wonderful and useful collection of posters is broken down by Microsoft products: Windows Server (11 posters), SQL Server (3), Business Intelligence (1), Solutions (15), Exchange Server (5), Lync Server (2), System Center (1), Microsoft Azure (10), Office (2), SharePoint Server (23), etc. HOWEVER, since Posterpedia is mostly for Windows 8,if you want to get the poster pictured above, go here. It's a great resource to have. API, as you recall, stands for Application Programming Interface, and it is a set of programming instructions and standards for accessing a Web-based, or desktop-based, software application or Web tool. An API basically simplifies and enhances the work of a developer.
