Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide 0.4

Here is an update to Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide that includes about half of the third chapter, "The Windows Phone User Experience," plus a few other revisions.

This half-chapter includes "completed" sections about basic navigation and hardware/soft buttons, plus a bit of the common software interfaces section, and I've replaced all of the screenshots in the completed parts.

I keep saying that I won't always be updating this book linearly, but this update does actually follow the previous one, so I'm once again providing the whole book document, even though most of it is rough material from the previous edition with my addition/to-do marks throughout. It's a mess. But that's OK.

I'll have more soon. But I'm going to start cross-posting these Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide updates to the Field Guide Books web site (which currently is just branded for Windows 8.1 Field Guide), as I plan to consolidate all the books at that one location soon.

Windows Phone 8 Field Guide Version 1.09

NOTE: This update is for the previous version of the book (which is free) and not for Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide. --Paul

Here's an update to the earlier (and free) Windows Phone 8 Field Guide which adds PDF bookmarking so you can navigate through the various headings in the book using the Bookmarks feature in Adobe Reader or Acrobat, or whatever PDF reader you choose. I updated the MOBI and ePub versions as well, though I didn't change any of the content (and those versions already support that kind of navigation).

If you're curious how this works, I updated Windows 8.1 Field Guide last night. So check out the post Windows 8.1 Field Guide 1.05 on that book's web site for the details. Future updates to Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide and Xbox Music Field Guide will feature this functionality as well, but I don't see any reason to do so now since they're both in-progress.

Note: Remember, MOBI format works on Kindle and ePub works on Nook.

Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide 0.3

Here is an update to Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide that includes a complete version of the second chapter, "Your New or Updated Phone," plus a few revisions to the first chapter.

As noted previously I won't always be updating this thing linearly, but this update does actually follow the previous one, so I'm just providing the whole book document, which remains rough (and will for a long time). Basically, the first two chapters are "done."

More soon.

Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide 0.2

Here is an update to the fledgling Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide that includes an expansion of the "Before You Start" chapter plus a revised version of the "Set up your new phone" section from the second chapter. (It's been updated for Windows Phone 8.1 of course and includes all new shots.)

I won't be updating this thing linearly, but this update does indeed basically follow the previous one, so I'm just providing the whole book document, which remains rough (and will for a long time).

More soon.
