Summary

This chapter contained a brief overview of the differences between lists and libraries. Once we understood the differences between lists and libraries, we looked closer at a particular list type named the Announcements list. We customized the Announcements list with an additional column. When we opened up the list item view for the Announcement list, we noticed that the default rendering on the Windows Phone was unreadable by default. From there, we created a project in Visual Studio to help us customize the list item rendering template. Next, we looked at how list item rendering templates were related to the home page and customized the home page in a similar manner. Finally, we took the home page customization all the way along the spectrum and replaced the entire page with a custom HTML page.
