Introduction

Windows 8 is Microsofts newest operating system, intended to let developers fluent in various programming languagessuch as C++, C#, or JavaScriptleverage its powerful infrastructure to build applications using a brand-new library called the Windows Runtime API.

This book provides an organized walk-through of the features, APIs, and user experience in Windows 8. The content is introductory it discusses each component from a theoretical viewpoint interspersed with basic but effective code samples, which you can follow to get a jump-start in developing for the Windows 8 platform.

The book provides coverage of almost all the main Windows 8 aspects and features, and it offers essential guidance in learning them using the classic Step by Step approach.

In addition to its coverage of core Windows 8 features using C++, the book discusses some related aspects, such as Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Data Services, Open Data Protocol (OData), ADO.NET Entity Framework, and applications architecture. Beyond the explanatory content, each chapter includes a rich set of step-by-step examples, as well as downloadable sample projects that you can explore for yourself.

Who should read this book

This goal of this book is to provide experienced C++ developers with the information they need to begin working with the main components of the Windows 8 operating system and the Windows Runtime. Starting with the Windows Runtime APIs, the book moves readers through a comprehensive discussion of the new user experience, including how to design interfaces that work for the keyboard, the mouse, and touch screens. This book does not teach C++; readers need a solid knowledge of the C++ language to fully understand the code presented in the book and to follow along by performing the exercises using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. This book is also useful for software architects conversant with C++ who need an overview of the components they would plan to include in the overall architecture of a real-world Windows 8 solution.
