Topics
Module 1: Windows Store App Essentials
This module provides an overview of the Windows 8.1 user experience and features, Windows Store apps, and the new user interface. You will review the process of developing apps using HTML to create the user interface, and the WinRT API to interact with the platform.
Lessons
- Review Windows Store App Essentials
- Review Windows Store App Essentials - Under the Hood
Module 2: Implementing Animations and Transitions
This module covers the following techniques for creating animations in Windows Store apps:
* The built-in WinJS.UI.Animation namespace
* CSS3 @keyframes
* CSS3 transitions and transformations
In this module, you will learn about the WinJS.UI.Animation namespace and CSS3 animations. By using animations in Windows Store apps, you can improve the user experience. This module also introduces the limitations of animations, and explains best practices for using them.
Lessons
- Implementing Animations
- Working with Transitions and Transformations
Lab : Implementing Animations, Transitions, and Transformations
- Creating Animations in a Windows Store App
- Creating Transitions and Transformations in a Windows StoreApp
Module 3: Implementing Globalization and Localization
Windows 8.1 supports over 100 languages, with a potential reach of 4.5 billion people. You can sell Windows Store apps in over 200 markets. When you design an app for globalization and localization, it can reach a wide audience. Globalization prepares an app for a global audience. This involves changing culture-specific elements of the user interface, such as dates, times, currencies, languages, and more. Localization takes globalization further by supporting specific languages, cultures, and regions. You should always globalize an app before you localize it.
Lessons
- Working with Resource File
- Implementing Culture-Specific Formatting
Lab : Implementing Globalization and Localization
- Create and Consume the Resource Files
- Apply Culture-Specific Formatting

Module 6: Creating Reusable Controls and Components
In this module, you will learn how the Windows Library for JavaScript (WinJS) provides a rich set of controls, such as the ListView, FlipView, and AppBar controls. You can use these controls to create functional apps. If the built-in controls do not provide the functionality you need, you can create your own custom controls and reuse them in any other apps, like a built-in control. You will also learn how to extend the Windows Runtime (WinRT) by exposing existing or new libraries to Windows Store apps. You can create custom WinRT components that can be used from any other supported programming language (C#, VB.NET, C++, or JavaScript).
