Today SilverlightShow author Samidip Basu is starting a new article series in which he will show you 8 common tips & tricks towards developing real-world Windows 8 Metro apps. Read Part 1 below:
From the author:
I have had the superb pleasure of working on several Windows 8 Enterprise LOB Metro apps for proof-of-concept, along with some very talented internal developers/designers. Unfortunately, that also means NDA and not being able to talk about stuff yet. But what I can do is share some coding experiences, since there is a decent learning curve. I will try to keep the articles short for readability & jump into what you need to make your first Windows 8 Metro app.
See the roadmap for this series:
- Day 1: Know the ecosystem; Start
- Day 2: Layout, Navigation & Visual States
- Day 3: Semantic Zoom
- Day 4: Controls & Styling
- Day 5: Search, Share & Settings Contracts
- Day 6: Data Persistence & Application Life-Cycle Management
- Day 7: Use of OData or Web Services
- Day 8: Live Services integration
