  10. Which technology to use? Heavy-duty data apps No UX customization Can reuse client logic Productivity UX customization • .NET / WinForms Portability Heavy-duty data apps Compelling UX Can reuse client logic and assets Productivity NATIVE UX customization • .NET / XAML Portability Maximum performance Highly interactive UX Can reuse client logic across devices Productivity UX customization • C++ Portability Lower developer productivity Standard based UX Fully interoperable across devices Productivity WEB UX customization • HTML5 Portability

  11. Visual Studio 2012: Native and web in one tool Windows Store Apps Desktop applications HTML5, CSS3 web sites • Native Highly interactive web applications • Web

  12. Visual Studio 2012 and Windows Simplicity New language features Streamlined UI Search across the IDE and tool windows Multi Monitor Support Choice between programming for Windows 8 apps Windows 8 Store Applications: XAML & C#/VB HTML5 & WinJS C++

  13. Windows 8 Technology Paths Windows 7 .NETWinForms .NET/XAML WPF .NET/XAMLSilverlight HTML/JSASP.NET Desktop HTML/Browser Windows 8 .NETWinForms .NET/XAML WPF .NET/XAMLSilverlight HTML/JSASP.NET HTML/JSWinRT .NET/XAMLWinRT C++/XAML/DX Windows 8

  14. Desktop Applications Your existing investment remains sound Visual Studio 2012 has a ton of great features Solution round-tripping Multi-targeting Enhanced, rich WPF editor Search across the IDE and tool windows Multi Monitor Support .NET framework 4.5 brings new features Built-in support for asynchronous execution makes it easy to build rich, responsive applications

  15. Desktop WPF and async Demo

  16. Building Windows Store Apps New designers for all Windows Store apps Shared architecture with Blend Language projections over WinRT means HTML and JavaScript Visual Basic and XAML Visual C++ and XAML Visual C# and XAML Visual C++/DirectX

  17. Simplified Windows Platform for HTML Single consistent platform Single HTML5 DOCTYPE Web standards, plug-in free Full-screen and docked apps Full access to Windows Runtime (WinRT)

  18. Windows Library for JavaScript (WinJS) Library for building Windows Store apps using JavaScript Make your apps ‘look and feel’ great Matches Windows Store Apps style (controls, touch-control, scaling, etc.) Build your apps fast and with high quality When you’re already familiar with web technologies Modern patterns for reliable apps Use interactive VS design tools

  19. Memory Profiling for JavaScript Apps Enables to inspect memory usage in Store Apps Dianose potential leaks Take snapshots while profiling

  20. WinJS and Windows Store Apps Demo

  21. VB/C# & XAML—Windows Store Apps Leverage existing investment in VB/C# code Much of your existing code can be ported into the new world All of your experience is very useful! Leverage existing investment in XAML code Most of your experience with Silverlight & WPF is directly applicable Data binding, Users Controls, etc. New frameworks and components, but many familiar old favorites <Grid />, <StackPanel/>, <Button /> DependencyProperty and related.

  22. Portable Libraries One DLL, multiple platforms Code against API subset common to selected targets Select versions Back to .NET 4, Silverlight 4, or Windows Phone 7.0

  23. XAML and VB with a C# Portable Library Demo

  24. XAML Windows Store Apps Choose your VS project type / template The standard project types all support slightly different navigation models… Save time and learn some principles and best practices!! Think about navigation All Windows Store Apps support a page-based navigation model They can be Activated and Deactivated Think about layout and orientation Resolution Portrait / Landscape Rotation

  25. XAML C# Windows Store App Demo

  26. Using Contracts Contracts allow apps to interoperate… With other apps e.g. sharing With system services e.g. Webcam, PlayTo media device

  27. What is a Capability? It’s a declaration about access requirements to any service Declared in XML App manifest file Editor & configuration support in Visual Studio 2012 Users can make decisions based on declarations The runtime prevents your app from using capabilities it hasn’t declared

  28. Activation Your app needs to work within the Windows 8 application model It may be deactivated, and reactivated So it may need to preserve its state It may be activated through a contract e.g. through the Search UI

  29. Search Integration Demo

  30. Building Windows Apps Your existing applications are alive and well New features like async can make them better Windows Store Apps Exciting changes with familiar development experience Windows Store App development your way XAML + VB/C# HTML + JavaScript C++/DirectX Visual Studio 2012 provides the tools you need Get started now building great applications to sell on the Windows Store.
