New technology of the current era is Windows phone and in future 95% of technology will shift to mobile applications, says Tasleem Mustafa, Chairman Department of Computer Sciences of University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF).
He was speaking at a Windows phone android game development training session, held under the Punjab Youth Festival 2012. The session was jointly organised by the Government of Punjab and Microsoft Corporation at UAF to train young professionals in developing mobile phone games.
The core objectives of the programme were to enlighten game developers about new technology on the basis of which they would compete in a game development competition expected to be held next month. Mustafa said the training session would enhance the vision of IT professionals in developing computer games.
