While the OS is definitely feeling much more polished, for developers, a lot has changed as well. The good news is that your apps still run without modification. The bad news is that, if you don’t take advantage of the new stuff, your users will get a less-than-optimal experience.<br /> <br /> In this webinar, we’ll take you on a tour of all what’s new in Windows 8.1 for developers. We’ll take a look at the updates to XAML (WinJS isn’t covered), the updated Search, the new tiles, the new screen sizes, the great new features in Visual Studio 2013 and much more.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Webinars.aspx">See all upcoming and past SilverlightShow Webinars >></a></p> http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Win8.1-Webinar.aspx editorial@silverlightshow.net (SilverlightShow ) http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Win8.1-Webinar.aspx#comments http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Win8.1-Webinar.aspx Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:30:12 GMT <table width="20"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <div class="fb-like" data-show-faces="true" data-send="false" data-href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Working-in-the-background-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx" data-font="segoe ui" data-layout="button_count"></div> <br /> </td> <td><a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-via="silverlightshow" data-counturl="http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Working-in-the-background-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx" data-count="horizontal" data-text="Recording of @gillcleeren's webinar 'Working in the background in Win8' #win8dev" data-url="http://slshow.net/11AGVZj">Tweet</a></td> <td><g:plusone size="medium" href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Working-in-the-background-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx"></g:plusone> <br /> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <img alt="" src="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Storage/Webinars/thumb.png" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px;" />Watch a recording of the webinar '<a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/news/Free-SilverlightShow-Webinar-Windows-8-background.aspx"><strong>Working in the background in Windows 8</strong></a><strong></strong>' delivered by Silverlight MVP <a href="http://www.snowball.be/" target="_blank">Gill Cleeren</a> on May 9th, 2013. <p><strong>Download the <a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Storage/Sources/Background%20processing%20in%20Windows%208.pdf">slides</a> | Get the <a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Storage/Win8_background_Demos.zip">demos</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Webinar summary:</strong> Windows 8 introduces a new process lifecycle management. No longer does the user have to close an app explicitly. Instead, Windows manages everything. But how can we then run code in the background, is this even possible in Windows 8?<br /> Turns out there’s a specific API that we can use to build processes (or tasks) that run in the background. It offers quite a few options, varying from simple using push notifications, over RAW notifications to more complex scenarios using the ControlChannelTrigger. In this session, we’ll take you through the several options offered by Windows 8.<br /> <br /> As usual, we gave away free ebooks for the attendees of this webinar who left valuable feedback in our webinar survey. <strong><a target="_self" href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/news/Winners-of-free-ebooks-from-our-recent-Working-in-the-background-in-Win-8-webinar.aspx">See who grabbed the ebooks!</a></strong></p> <h4><a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Webinars.aspx">See all upcoming and past SilverlightShow Webinars >></a></h4> http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Working-in-the-background-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx editorial@silverlightshow.net (SilverlightShow ) http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Working-in-the-background-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx#comments http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Working-in-the-background-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx Tue, 14 May 2013 11:49:27 GMT This video accompanies the article "<strong><a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Modular-Javascript-MVVM-for-Silverlight-Developers.aspx">Modular Javascript + MVVM for Silverlight Developers</a></strong>" by Braulio Diez!

By now, you should be convinced that MVVM is really the way to go. But then, you start building a real-world Windows 8 application and you encounter all kinds of challenges you hadn’t thought about before. How do I properly structure an application? How do I implement navigation? How do I manage tiles or contracts from MVVM? And how do the new data controls in Windows 8 work in combination with MVVM?<br /> A whole list of questions that this session will aim at answering!<br /> <br /> <strong><em>This is an advanced session.</em></strong><br /> <br /> As usual, we gave away free ebooks for the attendees of this webinar who left valuable feedback in our webinar survey. <strong><a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/news/Winners-of-free-ebooks-from-yesterday-s-MVVM-in-Windows-8-webinar-.aspx">See who grabbed the ebooks!</a></strong></p> <h4><a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Webinars.aspx">See all upcoming and past SilverlightShow Webinars >></a></h4> http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Applied-MVVM-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx editorial@silverlightshow.net (SilverlightShow ) http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Applied-MVVM-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx#comments http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Applied-MVVM-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx Wed, 27 Feb 2013 15:48:48 GMT <a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/news/Free-SilverlightShow-Webinar-Deeper-Dive-into-the-Windows-Phone-8-SDK.aspx"><img alt="" src="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Storage/Webinars/winphone8_deepdive_thumb.jpg" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px;" /></a><strong>Watch a recording of the webinar '<a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/news/Free-SilverlightShow-Webinar-Deeper-Dive-into-the-Windows-Phone-8-SDK.aspx">Deeper Dive into the Windows Phone 8 SDK</a>' delivered by Microsoft MVP <a href="http://michaelcrump.net/" target="_blank">Michael Crump</a> <a href="http://www.snowball.be/" target="_blank"></a> on January 15th, 2013. </strong> <p><strong>Download the slides (<a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Storage/Sources/Deeper%20Dive%20into%20the%20WP8%20SDK.ppt">.ppt</a>/<a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Storage/Sources/Deeper%20Dive%20into%20the%20WP8%20SDK.pptx">.pptx</a>) | Get the <a href="http://cdn.silverlightshow.net/storage/SLShowP2WP8.zip">demos</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Webinar summary:</strong> This session is a deeper dive into the Windows Phone 8 SDK.

Next to the core principles, we’ll dive deep in how we can apply the pattern for Windows 8 app by building an end-to-end app based on the pattern. We’ll be using the excellent MVVM Light toolkit for our discussion.<br /> <br /> <em> As usual, we gave away free ebooks for the attendees of this webinar who left valuable feedback in our webinar survey. </em><strong><a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/news/Winners-of-free-ebooks-from-yesterday-s-MVVM-in-Windows-8-webinar.aspx">See who grabbed the ebooks!</a></strong></p> <p> </p> <h4><a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Webinars.aspx">See all upcoming and past SilverlightShow Webinars >></a></h4> http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/MVVM-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx editorial@silverlightshow.net (SilverlightShow ) http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/MVVM-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx#comments http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/MVVM-in-Win8-Webinar.aspx Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:36:40 GMT <a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/news/New-SilverlightShow-webinar-Windows-8-Metro-apps-and-the-outside-world-connecting-with-services-and-integrating-the-cloud.aspx"><img alt="" src="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Storage/Webinars/win8metroapps_thunb.png" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px;" /></a><strong>Watch a recording of the webinar '<a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/news/New-SilverlightShow-webinar-Windows-8-Metro-apps-and-the-outside-world-connecting-with-services-and-integrating-the-cloud.aspx">Windows 8 Metro apps and the outside world: connecting with services and integrating the cloud</a>' delivered by Silverlight MVP <a href="http://www.snowball.be/" target="_blank">Gill Cleeren</a> on August 15th, 2012. </strong> <p><strong>Download the slides (<a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Storage/Sources/Metro%20apps%20and%20the%20outside%20world%20-%20Gill%20Cleeren.ppt">.ppt</a>/<a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Storage/Sources/Metro%20apps%20and%20the%20outside%20world%20-%20Gill%20Cleeren.pptx">.pptx</a>) | Get the <a href="http://cdn.silverlightshow.net/storage/SilverlightShow.zip">demos</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Webinar summary:</strong> Windows 8 Metro style apps will give users a great experience. Apps promise the user to be alive and connected. Being connected means interfacing with services and the cloud. But what options do we have to make the connection to the outside world? <br /> In this session, we'll explore how WinRT apps can connect with services (WCF, REST...) and the cloud to offer a great experience. We'll also see how internals like roaming data can be used in your apps. <br /> <br /> <em> As usual, we had a free ebook giveaway for the attendees and tweeters of this webinar:</em></p> <ul> <li>three attendees who submitted valuable feedback in our post-webinar survey won a free ebook of choice from <a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/ebooks.aspx">SilverlightShow Ebook Shelf</a></li> <li>one of those who tweeted the webinar won Gill's recently released ebook <a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/book/Microsoft-Silverlight-5-Data-and-Services-Cookbook.aspx">Microsoft Silverlight 5 Data and Services Cookbook</a> from <a href="http://ads.silverlightshow.net/a.aspx?ZoneID=59&Task=Click&Mode=HTML&SiteID=1&PageID=16437" target="_blank"> <img alt="" src="http://ads.silverlightshow.net/a.aspx?ZoneID=59&Task=Get&Mode=HTML&SiteID=1&PageID=16437" width="0" height="0" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid;" />Packt Publishing</a></li> </ul> <strong><a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/news/Winners-of-free-ebooks-from-yesterday-s-Windows-8-and-Services-webinar.aspx">See who grabbed the ebooks!</a></strong> <p> </p> <h4><a href="http://www.silverlightshow.net/Webinars.aspx">See all upcoming and past SilverlightShow Webinars >></a></h4> http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Win8-and-Services-Webinar-Recording.aspx editorial@silverlightshow.net (SilverlightShow ) http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Win8-and-Services-Webinar-Recording.aspx#comments http://www.silverlightshow.net/video/Win8-and-Services-Webinar-Recording.aspx Thu, 16 Aug 2012 15:21:15 GMT
