Now that we have learnt how to use the Patch News API, let us move ahead to build our PacktNews
app using the Windows Phone Pivot control. We will use a free icon from http://findicons.com/icon/169293/news?id=376465# for the PacktNews
app.
It is also a good idea to have a look at the taxonomy (in other words, category structure) of the Patch News API. There are two levels of taxonomy supported: category and subcategory level, as shown in the following table:
Taxonomy type |
