Les labs

Ce Contoso Cookbook se décompose donc en 10 exercices qui vous permettront de comprendre et manipuler les concepts de développement des applications Windows Store :

Working with data: Listiviews and data binding

In this lab you will become familiar with the basic anatomy of a Windows Store app. By the end of the lab, you will complete making a request to a REST service to get recipe data that will be displayed in the screen using a data-bound listview.

Optimizing your views: Orientation, snapping and semantic zoom

In this lab, you will improve the Contoso Cookbook views by handling orientation, snapping, and adding semantic zoom to easily navigate through our recipe data.

Working with contracts: Search and share

In this lab, you will implement the Share (Source) and Search contracts to seamlessly integrate with other applications and the core OS.

Media capture

In this lab you will capture photos and video so you can brag about your favorite recipe creations to your friends using the Share contract you implemented in the previous lab.

Lifetime management: saving and restoring state

In this lab you will learn about the process life-time management events in a Windows store app. You will save data in the suspending event, and restore it in the launching event so that the users have a seamless experience as the app’s lifetime is managed by the OS.

Settings and Preferences

In this lab you will wire up a settings screen for Contoso Cookbook. You will save and restore roaming settings and seamlessly integrate with the Operating system’s settings charm.

Tiles and push notifications

In this lab you will pin recipes to the start screen, use local notifications to create timers, and leverage Windows Notifications Services (WNS) to send badges to our Contoso Cookbook app.

Monetizing your app: trials and in-app purchases

In this lab, you will use the Windows Store trial and in-app purchase APIs within the Contoso Cookbook app. You will also simulate in-app purchase options within your app.

Touch Input

In this lab, you will take a pre-existing photo viewing app and enhance it with touch support. You will begin with simple gestures -such as taps and double-taps- and afterwards move to more advanced gestures, such as pinch and drag.

Introduction to Azure Mobile Services

In this HOL you will learn how you can leverage Visual Studio 2012 and Windows Azure Mobile Services to add structured storage, push notifications and integrated authentication to your Windows Store applications.

Windows 8 introduces a new and ready-to-use set of user interface controls to help create beautiful Windows Storeapps quickly. Learn about these powerful and highly flexible controls and how to use them to implement the common patterns that deliver great apps.

Integrating the Windows 8 Experience with Contracts

Contracts are agreements between Windows and your Windows Store app that allow you to integrate Windows 8 features into your app. For example, Windows 8 lets users share content from one application to another by using the Share contract. In this session, you'll learn how contracts work and how to implement the built-in contracts such as Search, Share, Settings, and Play To

How and When Windows Store Apps Run

Bring your apps to life with tile and notifications

Tiles draw users back into your app by awakening your tile on the Start screen. Notifications delivered through the Windows Push Notification Service draw your users back into your app even when it's not running. In this session you will learn how to implement Tiles and Notifications and how to create tiles that let users personalize their Start screen by creating deep links to specific places within your app

Building Windows Store apps that take advantage of modern hardware

MultiTouch, camera, near-field-communications, and sensors for location, light, and motion are just a few of the many hardware components available in Windows 8. Learn how to take advantage of the hardware to create better Windows Store apps

The Developer Opportunity: Introducing the Windows Store

In this session, we will show the many different ways to monetize your application, including subscriptions, trial apps, advertisement, and in-app purchases. We will cover the end-to-end lifecycle of an application, from developer registration and application submission to analytics and feedback.
