This app makes use of -
- HTML & JavaScript
- GeoNames API
- MediaWiki API
- World Weather Online API
- jQuery
It is based on an idea by Chris Heilmann. My wife wrote most of the code while I threw in suggestions and smart-alecky comments. Building the actual functionality took about 30% of the total time. Making it certification-ready took the remaining time.
Please try it out and if you like it, rate it within Windows 8 and on Apptivate.ms.
Jeff Brand's tutorial series on building a Windows 8 Store app (TwitterScan app) with HTML and JavaScript was extremely useful for us to get started. We also learnt new things from Channel 9 videos and MSDN documentation. When we needed help, we turned to the Stack Overflow forum and Apptivate.ms developer chat sessions when Microsoft evangelists Jerry Nixon, Doris Chen & Jeff Brand were available. The good folks at the Bangalore Microsoft App Labs helped test our app on actual devices and offered useful feedback.
