Microsoft Press is pleased to offer the second edition of Kraig Brockschmidt’s in-depth ebook on writing Windows Store apps using HTML, CSS3, and javascript on the Windows 8.1 platform. The ebook includes 20 chapters and 4 appendices. We’re delighted to welcome you into a world of Windows Reimagined!
This book is about writing Windows Store apps using HTML5, CSS3, and javascript. Our primary focus will be on applying these web technologies within the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Preview platform, where there are unique considerations, and not on exploring the details of those web technologies themselves. For the most part, then, Im assuming that youre already at least somewhat conversant with these standards. We will cover some of the more salient areas like the CSS grid, which is central to app layout, but otherwise I trust that youre capable of finding appropriate references for most everything else.
