Windows 8 Development Opportunities

Posted by Business Development Team on Nov 2, 2011 in Featured | Comments Off

Windows 8 will bring a dramatic change to both the developer and the end user. Our first look at the beta has got us really excited – especially about mobile application development!

Windows 8 introduces a new Metro style interface which is a personalized layout with clean typography and animations to make interacting with your PC fluid and intuitive. The interface is optimized for touch and easier navigation.

There is a new Start screen which will provide a faster way to interact with apps and content. Windows 8 will also have two touch keyboards – a full-size keyboad with larger buttons and a specially designed thumb keyboard.

From a developer perspective, Apps can communicate with each other in Windows 8 which can provide for a more cohesive experience. Web developers can use their HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript skills to build native applications for Windows. .NET Developers can use XAML, C#, and Visual Basic to build beautiful Metro style apps.

If you’re a developer, you can download a beta version from Microsoft.
