.NET

Windows 8

I assume… You know .NET or you wouldn’t be here You know some XAML or at least the core concepts You’re concerned You want to strike it rich in the Windows Store, get acquired by <fill-in-the-blank-hot-company> and have a major motion picture made of your success

Familiar and New

We’ll focus on… Developer Tools and Project Structure .NET Framework and WinRT Windows.UI.Xaml Development Patterns Data for Apps Resource management and localization

Visual Studio for Metro style Apps Same great IDE experience you know Great .NET language support for C# and Visual Basic Plugin architecture still allows for your favorite plugin to work (i.e., Resharper, VSCommands, etc.) Blend fully integrated into VS Share same code base Blend designer included in install Windows 8 specific tools Packaging, manifest, deployment, store integration

.NET Framework and WinRT .NET (and C# and Visual Basic) is alive and well Windows Runtime (Windows.*) native APIs projected

[DllImport(“kernel32.dll”)]

.NET Framework and WinRT .NET (and C# and Visual Basic) is alive and well Windows Runtime (Windows.*) native APIs projected Can use C#/VB to create WinRT components Async everywhere: await/async keywords are your friends Reference assemblies for Metro style apps Surface area specific for Metro style app development Redundancy removed when matching WinRT API exists Portable Class Library projects Shared code at source and binary level Great for framework developers when possible

Development Patterns Code-behind approaches Simpler apps Event-driven Coupling UI to logic Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) Separation of concerns More easily testable (TDD) Binding-driven No Behavior support currently

Resources and Localization Common resource APIs for WinRT No strongly-typed class generation from resource file Folder- or file-based convention RESW == RESX in schema Windows 8 only supports String resources XAML leverages a ‘merge’ technique for markup String- and file-based resources compiled into PRI Visual Studio indexes all files for you
