Gain a deep practical understanding of Windows 8 Metro design, architecture, development, and deployment! Based on the principles of cognitive science and instructional design, this radically different tutorial teaches you the way your mind likes to learn: by solving puzzles, making connections, and building genuine understanding. Instead of merely parroting syntax, you'll gain profound insight into Windows Metro's most important innovations and best-practice development techniques. Internationally respected author, application architect, and Microsoft MVP Rebecca Riordan helps you understand Metro in context, use XAML and DOM in Metro development, and work with Metro controls, properties, events, touch-and-drag, and commands. You'll learn today's best ways to use binding, data sources, and structured data; work with typography, animation, rich media, and custom drawing; master Metro's advanced Resource Model; and take full advantage of application elements, context, connectivity, and Metro's advanced deployment capabilities. Throughout, Riordan calls specific attention to innovations that make Metro different and better than Microsoft's previous WPF technologies. Using Fluent Windows 8 Metro Development, experienced Windows .NET developers can master Metro development more easily and naturally than ever before.
