windows store app development v1
TRANSCRIPT
What is Windows 8 anyway?
Apps have one window that supports multiple views
Apps work great with touch and pen input
The app bar
The charms
Apps use tiles instead of icons
“”
Okey… I am convinced. I
want to start building
apps but I don’t know .NET… YOU MIGHT ASK!!!
Which programming languages does this Operating System support?
“”
You can develop if you
are…
Web developerHTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery
Distribute easily
Windows Store apps sell in more than 200 markets, with support for local currencies in over 120 markets, and developers can localize their apps in more than 100 languages. Windows Store also offers full platform support for free apps, trials (time-based and feature-based) and paid apps, including in-app purchase. The revenue share base is 70%, but when an app achieves $25,000 USD in revenue—aggregated across all sales in every market—that app moves to 80% revenue share for the lifetime of that app.
The web is native
in Windows 8
Windows Store apps support most web standards like HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Use common elements like canvas, SVG, video, audio, 2D transforms, transitions and animations just like you would when supporting many modern browsers. You can also use common frameworks and libraries like jQuery.
When you write your Windows Store app using web standards, it has access to all the underlying performance benefits of Windows 8, including the high-performance Chakra JavaScript engine, GPU-powered hardware acceleration and hardware sensors such as accelerometers, GPS and gyroscopes.
Build on what you
already have
Your best stuff is on the web and you don’t have time to rebuild it. Windows Store apps support the >iframe< element and WebView controls so you
can present your best content in a new way. You can even combine it with other coding languages like C#, C++, VB, and XAML into one powerful app.

Build apps that
reach more
peopleApps are core to the Windows 8 experience, and with the reach of the Windows install base and the Windows Store distribution channel, you have the opportunity to reach
hundreds of markets worldwide. And unlike other platforms, Windows 8 apps scale automatically across devices – all while using the same code.
Easier distribution
and app
maintenanceAccess the Windows Store and package your Windows Store app for distribution directly within Visual Studio – all without having to build your own install package. Once your app is
available through the Windows Store, you have access to valuable telemetry data to monitor your app quality including JavaScript exception rate, crash rate and app responsiveness rate.
Connect to the
OS and cloud
With the new Windows contracts, your app integrates seamlessly with other apps to create powerful user experiences like sharing, searching and file pickers with
very little code. And through cloud roaming, you can create a continuous experience across devices by roaming data that lets people pick up a task right where they left off.

Speak a modern
design language
Microsoft's design language was created with digital in mind. It allows content to come to life and at the same time help maintain a consistent personality and experience for
the user. The language provides a universal tool to craft great apps that scale gracefully across multiple screen sizes.
Unleash your
creativity on a
new digital
canvasWith Windows 8, your app is the star of the show, as the operating system fades to the background. Your app can take advantage of unique features like live tiles, contracts
and cloud services to design experiences that engage with users in new ways.
Elegant hardware
provides the
perfect stage for
your experienceWindows 8 runs on amazing hardware, from tablets to laptops to all-in-ones with large high-definition screens. It’s the perfect place to showcase your creativity and vision
through the experiences you create.
