Windows 8 Apps with XAML and C# Unleashed Book

With Metro and Windows 8, Microsoft is enabling developers to build applications with unparalleled richness and interactivity: applications that are extraordinarily useful and beautiful, and can serve users no matter where they are or what kind of device they prefer to use. In Windows 8 Metro Apps with XAML and C# Unleashed, legendary Microsoft programming guru Adam Nathan shows experienced Microsoft developers exactly how to write world-class apps with Metro. As in Nathan's previous best-seller WPF 4 Unleashed, this approachable, intensely practical book teaches through realistic code examples -- all of them fully color-coded to match the way they appear in Visual Studio. Nathan examines Metro's feature areas in unparalleled depth, delving into topics that most Metro books ignore. He covers everything developers need to know now about Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), showing how to use it to create state-of-the-art Metro user interfaces. Developers will discover how to exploit Windows 8's most important new innovations from Metro, including touch and sensor support. For sophisticated developers comfortable with the Microsoft programming stack, this book offers unparalleled value.Read More
