AppFactory is a powerful data-driven build system with a UI front-end. It helps developers build large suites of applications for Windows Phone and soon Windows 8. Developed by Microsoft Evangelist Jared Beinz.

AppFactory was created with two main audiences in mind:AppFactory assists developers by allowing them to start with one or more template projects and transform those projects into suites of applications. These “template” projects could be starter kits, completely custom projects or even be applications ported from other platforms.
