CodeCube.NET

After reviewing the UI design guidelines, re-theming the application, and submitting on Sunday, the application was approved about 24 hours later. It’s now live on the marketplace!

You can download it by clicking here if you have the Zune software installed, or just navigating to Marketplace > Books &  Reference > Reference, or of course, just searching the marketplace for “Khan Academy”.

This has been a great learning experience, and I hope to continue working with the Khan Academy to iterate and improve on the application based on user feedback. If you do have feedback, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment, email me, or create a discussion on the codeplex site. And of course, Rate and Review the application after you download it

Very proud to introduce a project I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. A Windows Phone 7 app to browse and watch the Khan Academy videos.

I’ve been extremely impressed with the quality and value of the videos since I discovered the site a few years ago. And it was no surprise when Bill Gates called Sal Khan his favorite teacher.

I wanted a way to contribute to the cause, and with Microsoft’s new platform just launching, and the fact that I wanted a project to focus on for the Windows Phone it seemed a natural fit.

In keeping with the spirit of the Khan Academy’s open source development ethos, I am making this project open source as well on GitHub:

I plan on maturing the app over time with better styling, and more features, especially as I learn more about the silverlight/phone platform. The project is almost ready to submit to the marketplace, just need to complete a bit more testing … so keep an eye on this space for more info about when that happens.
