Developer resources for JavaScript based Windows 8/Metro apps

Posted on 09:30 by Unknown

MSDN documentation is a great reference but for learners getting started with Windows 8 app development using JavaScript, the maze of links within the articles can be distracting. Here is a collection of end-to-end, free technical resources that I've found so far:

  1. Jeff Brand has written a nice article series on building a Metro-style HTML/JavaScript app on Windows 8. The articles are short, simple & well-written. The content is also available in video format. 
  2. The PDF version of the Apress book Metro Revealed: Building Windows 8 Apps with HTML5 and JavaScript by Adam Freeman is available as a free download from Microsoft
  3. 12 of the 17 chapters of the free ebook Programming Windows 8 Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScriptfrom MS Press are available for previewing. The complete book will be released on 26th Oct, 2012
