I have been playing with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview since the day it was released. It is my primary operating system at nights and weekends. Since I have been investing a lot of time in Windows 8, I thought I’d share 10 things that I certainly didn’t know about Windows 8 at first. This list should be helpful for someone new to Windows 8, but a power-user may learn a thing or two as well. (more)

After writing the application for Windows Phone, I wanted to bring the same feature with Windows 8 Metro but unfortunately, metro didn’t support the same converter for the reason that BitmapImage can no more read from Stream but only from IRandomAccessStream. I was very much disappointed w... (more)

Thursday, February 02, 2012 5:06:51 PM GMT Monday, January 30, 2012 2:05:20 PM GMT

WinRT Transitions – Creating Fast and Fluid Metro UIs | Colin Eberhardt's Adventures in .NET
posted by FantasticMrFishFantasticMrFish 616 days, 9 hours, 6 minutes ago
Tuesday, October 11, 2011 10:47:44 AM GMT
This blog post looks at the new concept of ‘transitions’ that WinRT, within Windows 8, introduces. This concept makes it very easy for you to create a fluid and interactive UI without going anywhere near storyboards! I have to admit it, I am a big fan of the Metro Design Language; the clean chrome-free graphics, combined with typography inspired by signage and designed for maximum legibility, has given Windows Phone 7 an instantly recognisable style. However, whilst Silvelight applications developed for... (more)

Friday, September 16, 2011 7:17:27 AM GMT
In this blog post I take a look at Windows 8 on the outside, from a user perspective; and on the inside, from a developer perspective to see how it will change the way we develop with Windows on tablets, smartphones and the desktop when it is released next year. In Anaheim, California, the Microsoft //build/ conference is drawing to a close. And as the attendees head for home, with their shiny new Samsung tablets under their arms, the news of Windows 8 and the impact it has on end-users and developers i... (more)

The Windows 8 Developer Ecosystem

Friday, September 23, 2011 3:22:14 PM GMT Wednesday, September 14, 2011 5:19:09 AM GMT
Windows 8 brings a style of applications familiar to us using Windows Phone known as Metro. Although Metro Windows Phone apps were built in Silverlight, many predicted the demise of Silverlight since early previews of Windows 8 focused solely on HTML5 support. The keynote of the BUILD conference dispelled this notion by presenting us a full picture of the applications supported in Windows 8. Windows 8 supports applications that run on Windows 7. It also supports the new style of applications even usin... (more)

Metro UI for RadControls for Silverlight and WPF

Windows 8 will bring exciting times to all application developers, especially those who will invest in creating the immersive applications we all saw in that video. We loved the tiles and the clean modern look and how they integrate perfectly within the UI. And I am guessing a lot of software will transition to new ways. As always Telerik will ease this process by providing its Silverlight and WPF offering with Metro UI Theme and kick start your Windows 8 development. The theme is built from the ground... (more)

Why Windows 8 does not mean the end for .NET development

Wednesday, June 22, 2011 6:24:14 AM GMT Monday, June 20, 2011 11:46:35 AM GMT
Since the demo of Windows 8 given by Microsoft Vice President Julie Larson-Green at the recent D9 conference windows developers have been described in many articles as feeling “Horrified” “Worried” “Deeply Concerned”. But no matter what Microsoft confirms about Windows 8 come September, whether they decide to stop supporting .NET or put more emphasis on the advantages of HTML5 over it, VWG enables .NET to appear as HTML/HTML5 on the client. Visual WebGui ensures that Windows 8 does not mean the end for ... (more)
