[Buzz. Today] Microsoft build Conference

Microsoft build Conference. For developers, it is the development technology stack supported by it that is worth looking forward to. The previous rumors of HTML/JavaScript only are everywhere as a "relearning" cry, especially those fans of WPF/Silverlight. Well, let's take a look at the good news about build.

> Windows reimagined.

Windows 8 has a heavy burden, and Microsoft's prospects are worrying, as Vista does.

> Metro UI Style

Very handsome, distinctive, at least impressive.

Lock Screen

 

> Built on Windows 7

The best of Windows 7, only better

Faster startup, better scheduling of system resources, less resource occupation by applications.

> Windows Store.

The Windows Store will allow developers to launch their apps anywhere windows is sold worldwide, whether they're creating new games or familiar productivity tools.

The application for accessing the Windows 8 store is actually written using JavaScript over the winrt API.

The app store is not limited to Metro style applications, traditional Win32 applications can also be offered via the store.

For individual developers, opportunities, comrades !!!

> New Generation of hardware

Also support for ARM-based chipsets

> Windows 8 platform tools

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Allow you to code Metro style applications in HTML5/JavaScript, C/C ++,
And/or C #/XAML.

The investors you have made as developers in all
These programming ages carry forward for Windows 8, which lets you choose how
To best make use of the Windows 8 system services.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

> More details about developing tools

Classic platforms:

· Html/JavaScript on Internet Explorer

· C/C ++ on Win32

· C #/vB on. NET and Silverlight

Internet Explorer 10 is
Best Browser with support for modern standards like HTML5, css3 and SVG,
Well as hardware-accelerated graphics and compiled JavaScript.

Metro style:

Windows kernel is still at the bottom of the stack

WinrtIs the new OS-level API layer. This is the new Native API for Windows, it isn' t a new layer on top of win32.

You can access winrt from C/C ++, C #/Vb, or Javascript. XAML is the UI
Layer for C, C ++, C #, and Visual Basic. html/CSS will continue to be
Used as the UI Layer for JavaScript.

Visual Studio will have project templates for the various styles
Windows 8 applications. The first demonstration is a javascript-based
Application. The application isn' t compiled but it is packaged into
Bundle that includes des all the HTML and JavaScript files needed by it.
Windows 8 runs it directly, there is no need to launch the web browser.

As alluded to above, JavaScript can access the native functionality
From the winrt API. In the keynote demo it only took a couple lines
Code to expose the new windows open file dialog. since Facebook was
Already installed on the machine the open file dialog showed images from
The presenter's Facebook page. The JavaScript Application had no
Networking code at all, this link between it and Facebook was handled
Entirely by the platform.

Blend provides a modern design environment that enables you to drag and drop elements, then move, style and refine them via the Interactive Design surface of blend.

The HTML 5 grid proposal is essential to building Windows 8
Applications. Without it supporting the wide variety of Screen
Resolutions that Windows 8 runs on wocould be very difficult.

Metro style applications are automatically susponded when not visible. This was done to prolong battery life.

> About Silverlight

Silverlight & WPF are "legacy ".

But: You can convert it to XAML project easily.

The Win8 XAML app is ported to Windows Phone 7 with only 1 line changed

Ms is quite powerful. This set of platform tools really takes care of the interests of the majority of developers. It seems that JavaScript/HTML5/css3 should be learned in any way.
