Part 1, “Preventing Problems,” examines the ways in which Windows 8 computers can be installed and configured so as to prevent problems from occurring or to minimize the impact of those problems.
Part 2, “Applying Easy Technical Fixes,” details the many ways in which problems and errors can be repaired quickly and simply, sometimes by remotely giving instruction to the user.
Part 3, “Using Advanced Technical Fixes,” details the process of how you set about diagnosing and troubleshooting complex problems., what to look for in the operating system, and what tools and utilities exist to help with this.
Part 4, “Disaster Recovery,” assumes that a significant problem has already occurred that needs to be fixed quickly but cannot be easily addressed from within the operating system itself.
Part 5, “Using Advanced Utilities,” examines the advanced administration and configuration tools for Windows 8 in depth, looking at how they can be used for advanced troubleshooting and optimization, and how you can use them to configure Windows 8 to further prevent and mitigate problems.
Programming Windows 8 Apps With HTML CSS and JavaScript
Programming Windows 8 Apps With HTML CSS and JavaScript
Programming Windows 8 Apps With HTML CSS and JavaScript is about writing Windows Store apps using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Our primary focus will be on applying these web technologies within the Windows 8 platform, where there are unique considerations, and not on exploring the details of those web technologies themselves. For the most part, then, assuming that you’re already at least somewhat conversant with these standards. We will cover some of the more salient areas like the CSS grid, which is central to app layout, but otherwise I trust that you’re capable of finding appropriate references for most everything else.
Windows 8 has at least two basic motivations. One, you probably want to come up to speed as quickly as you can, perhaps to carve out a foothold in the Windows Store sooner rather than later. Toward that end, I’ve front-loaded the early chapters with the most important aspects of app development along with “Quickstart” sections to give you immediate experience with the tools, the API, and some core platform features. On the other hand, you probably also want to make the best app you can, one that performs really well and that takes advantage of the full extent of the platform. Toward this end, I’ve also endeavored to make Programming Windows 8 Apps With HTML CSS and JavaScript comprehensive, helping you at least be aware of what’s possible and where optimizations can be made. (Note, though, that the Store itself is discussed in Chapter 17.)
Many insights have come from working directly with real-world developers on their real-world apps. As part of the Windows Ecosystem team, myself and my teammates have been on the front lines bringing those first apps to the Windows Store. This has involved writing bits of code for those apps and investigating bugs, along with conducting design, code, and performance reviews with members of the Windows engineering team. As such, one of my goals with this book is to make that deep understanding available to many more developers, including you
Professional Windows 8 Programming Application Development with C# and XAML
Professional Windows 8 Programming Application Development with C# and XAML
Professional Windows 8 Programming is designed as your guide to all the changes and to get you on the fast track of developing your own apps for the new Windows Store.
Professional Windows 8 Programming you learn all about the new development features of Windows 8 and how best to use them in apps for both the PC and tablet. You see how to use XAML and C# to create a new style of app that emphasizes content rather than chrome. Windows Store apps are different from traditional Windows desktop apps because they run full screen and without all the traditional menu systems that have historically taken up valuable screen real estate. In addition to a new style of app through the new WinRT development platform, Windows 8 gives you easy access to various hardware features such as sensors and geolocation. This book walks you through making use of these new features in your own apps.

Finally, you should be aware that Windows 8 brings massive change in the area of app distribution. With the release of Windows 8, developers can now access an online app store where they can easily distribute and sell apps to the massive Windows 8 audience. Step by step, this book shows you how to leverage Visual Studio 2012 to prepare your apps for deployment in the Windows Store. The new Windows Store gives you a great way to generate revenue as well as free online distribution for your apps.
It is an exciting time to be a Microsoft developer, and now that Windows 8 is out in the wild, you’ll see a massive increase in the demand for quality, content-rich apps in the Windows Store. These apps must target the PC and tablet, as well as the soon-to-be-released Windows Phone 8.
Professional Windows 8 Programming will guide you through all this, ensuring that you have the knowledge and tools necessary to create these in-demand apps.
Pro Windows 8 Development with HTML5 and JavaScript
Pro Windows 8 Development with HTML5 and JavaScript
Pro Windows 8 Development with HTML5 and JavaScript show you how to use your knowledge of web app technologies and techniques and apply them to create rich, fluid, and dynamic Windows apps. I start by showing you these web technologies can be used to create a simple app using the same approach that you would encounter in regular web app
deployment and then show you the different techniques, libraries, and features available to take advantage of Windows 8 and the app environment.
You are an experienced web developer who already knows the basics of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS and who wants to develop apps for Windows 8. You want to build on your web experience to create apps that go beyond the browser and take advantage of the Windows platform features in a way that regular web apps can’t offer.
You need to know how to write a simple web app, using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You need to understand HTML elements and attributes, CSS styles, and JavaScript concepts such as functions and events. You don’t have to be an expert in any of these technologies, but you do need some experience. I
don’t provide an introduction to web development in Pro Windows 8 Development with HTML5 and JavaScript, and you will struggle to follow the examples if you are new to the world of web technologies.
Windows app development uses HTML5 and CSS3, but it isn’t critical if you are up to speed with the latest drafts of the HTML5 specifications. The new features in HTML5 and CSS3 are largely evolutionary, and a good understanding of HTML4 will give you enough of a foundation to figure out what you don’t
know.
OReilly Windows 8 The Missing Manual
OReilly Windows 8 The Missing Manual
OReilly Windows 8 The Missing Manual
OReilly Windows 8 The Missing Manual is to serve as the manual that should have accompanied Windows. In these pages, you’ll find step-by-step instructions for using almost every Windows feature, including those you may not have understood, let alone mastered.
Despite the many improvements in Windows over the years, one feature hasn’t improved a bit: Microsoft’s documentation. Not only does Windows 8 come with no printed user guide at all, but it actually has very little electronic help either! Many Tile World apps, for example, have no Help command whatsoever.
Even when you do find online help, you’ll quickly discover that it’s tersely written, offers very little technical depth, and lacks examples. You can’t mark your place, underline things, or read it in the bathroom. Some of the help screens are actually on Microsoft’s Web site; you can’t even see them without an Internet connection. Too bad if you’re on a plane somewhere with your laptop.
Windows 8 is two operating systems superimposed. Both are really good. There’s the regular desktop, an even more refined version of the popular Windows 7. And then, lying over it, there’s the new, colorful world of tiles and modern typography that Microsoft calls—well, Microsoft calls it Windows 8, which doesn’t help much. (It desperately needs a name. OReilly Windows 8 The Missing Manual call it “TileWorld.”) Maybe Windows 8 is meant to be a transitional OS. Maybe the next one will be all TileWorld, all touchscreen, all the time.
