Windows 8 - Modern Application Development

 

Windows 8 tilbyder en fantastisk mulighed for ISV partnere for at bygge inovative applikationer og tjene penge på dem igennem Windows Store i hundredvis af markeder på verdensplan. De er nemme at installere, og de fjernes helt ved afinstallation. De kører i ét vindue, der som standard fylder hele skærmen. De fungerer automatisk med en bred vifte af inputkilder, herunder touch, pen, mus og tastatur. I stedet for statiske ikoner anvendes live-fliser til visning af meddelelser. Du kan skrive Windows Store-apps på en lang række sprog, f.eks. C# og Visual Basic med XAML, C++ med XAML eller DirectX og JavaScript med HTML/CSS.

For at supportere vores partnere i at få mest ud af denne forretningsmulighed, har Partner Technical Services udviklet en række online workshops, som vil guide dig igennem denne spændende mulighed for at udvikle apps til Windows 8.

Workshops er GRATIS og foregår på engelsk.
