Millions of web developers are already fluent with JavaScript and HTML: With Windows 8 and Metro, Microsoft is about to empower all these developers to build fully-functional next-generation Windows applications. In this book, multiple best-selling Microsoft web development author Stephen Walther shows them exactly how to leverage this remarkable new opportunity.
This comprehensive, in-depth guide covers everything web developers need to know to get the job done. Walther thoroughly explains the unique advantages of Metro applications, and demonstrates how to use Microsoft's fully array of new JavaScript technologies to build them - including JavaScript templates, controls, data binding, and the entire new Windows Library for JavaScript (WinJS).
From accessing the Windows Runtime to distributing applications through Microsoft's new App Store, this book brings together all the knowledge needed to build successful production software. From start to finish, readers will find the same exceptionally insightful coverage and practical code that made Walther's ASP.NET Unleashed the top-selling ASP.NET book of all time.
