Hello I am derik whittaker and I am going to be your instructor for this live lesson
I have been building .net based applications for last 12 years. OVer this time I have
build client server applications, browswer based applications as well as mobile applications.
I am a C# MVP, a member of the ASP Insiders group and a frequent speaker at various usergroups and
developer conferences around the country.
IN this live lesson we are going to dive into the world of building Windows 8 Modern UI applications
with C# and XAML. I will assume you have a working knowledge of both C# as well as XAML, but we
still cover many of the basic skills needed to build a modern UI application.
In order to build a Windows 8 Modern UI application you will need to have a computer running
windows 8 as well as Visual Studio 2012
Lets go ahead and talk about the content of our lessons
In the first lesson we are going to take lap around Win8 and Visual stuido 2012 in order to familurize ourselvs
with some of the many new features we will be covering during this lesson
In lesson 2 we will focus on leaning how to use the Model view view model pattern, or MVVM, to
build Modern UI applications
IN lesson 3 we will explore 4 general features that all MOdern UI developers should be familure with
, such as how to handle navigation and use the applciation bar
in lesson 4 we will explore how to use some of the common UI controls such as the grid view, list view and flip view
in lesson 5 we will learn how to light up your application by learning to use the various contracts to
integrate your application into windows 8
in lesson 6 we will learn how to light up the start screen with live tiles
In lesson 7 we will explore how to handle transitions and animations in your ModernUI application.
In lesson 8 we will learn how to use many of the built device sensors which will be avaiable to you
when building ModernUI apps. These include the camera, light sensor and accelerometer to name a few.
Now that we know what we are going to be learing during this lesson, its time to get to it.
