Description
This practical guide takes you step-by-step through building tablet apps for the Windows Store using C#. You'll learn to use Microsoft's Modern UI design language with Windows 8.1 and WinRT 8.1.1, developing a line-of-business mobile app as you go.
As you build your app, you'll work with system details and design specs that apply to retail apps, covering topics such as persistence, backend service, and Windows 8 features for sharing and search. You'll also learn how to develop the code, incorporate third-party open source products, and package your app for the Windows Store.
Through hands-on examples, you'll master skills like building a UI with XAML, understanding asynchrony, storing data locally, presenting notifications, and implementing background functionality.
