Windows 8

The construction of an empty Windows 8 MonoGame project is as easy as can be: Select to create a new project, choose the MonoGame Windows Store (XAML) Project template, choose a location and a name for your project, and click the OK button. Visual Studio will open the project ready for you to develop. You can also find the source code for this empty project in this chapter’s accompanying source code, in the Chapter2/Windows8/FirstProject_Win8 folder. You can run the project straight away by pressing F5. The project will compile and launch, and it will then show you an empty blue screen. This is, in fact, a particular shade of blue called “cornflower blue.” Empty XNA projects have always used this color as a positive indicator that the project is working, as opposed to a black screen, which could simply mean that the app has crashed and that nothing is being drawn to the screen at all. This tradition has, of course, been adopted by MonoGame, too.

You learned about the desktop in Chapter 1. There you discovered that the desktop still exists in a form very similar to what you’re likely already used to if you’ve spent any time with other Windows-based computers. You can personalize the desktop in the same ways, too. You can apply a new background, personalize sounds, set a screen saver, and more. You can have the background switch to show a slide show of pictures you select. You can also choose a theme, a group of settings that, combined, provide a motif. One theme, Nature, combines backgrounds, screensavers, window colors, and sounds and is available from the Windows 8 Desktop Personalization options. You can just choose a new back- ground; there are many beautiful pictures from which you can choose.

One modern-day norm that is a candidate for abstraction is social networking, or to be even more general—sharing. Windows 8 abstracts the concept of sharing away from our apps and wraps it in what’s called a contract that you as a developer can implement. A contract, in case you’re not familiar, is simply a pattern that is followed in your code that fulfills what Windows is expecting to find when it attempts to ask your app to share or search or whatever. Implementing a contract in your code is not a difficult endeavor. The tremendous advantage of this is that as long as your app is capable of sharing and correctly implements the contract and then it is suddenly capable of sharing with every app that participates in the same contract. It’s even capable of sharing with apps that didn’t exist until after you put yours into the Store!

tampilan Windows klasik. Tampilan Metro juga menyediakan kontrol sentuh, yang menjadi sinyal Microsoft akan mengembangkan sistem operasi untuk tablet.“Tiap menit Anda menggunakan perangkat sentuh dengan Windows 8, saya berjanji Anda akan kembali ke komputer Anda dan terus menyentuh layarnya,” ujar Sinofsky.Kemudian, seperti dikutip dari laman FoxNews, sistem operasi terbaru Windows ini juga menghemat memory.

In accepting the text, idea of language will help brainwares or users to understand what is experiential. Majority of the users have difficulties for understanding a text. Even though, they past from the text on is operated in the operating system several times. It is need to pay attention in getting the idea from the text. There are so many factors that influence to understand them. For instance, has limited ability to reduce them. As a result, become reduce speed in getting the idea from information on the text. Then, developing the idea in reading is in fact not easy as some people think. Generally of the people work without giving much thought on how they do it since to assume that reading in working with a program is not very important. To operate at the same time reading texts are only an activity to read some words or sentences, thus to less concentrations to the result of the reading experiential meaning in windows 8 help texts.

The biggest downside of Cloud connecting an app is obviously the cost, and you might have to put in extra time to make the app work offline and to synchronize it to your service, but that depends on the type of app you’re building. A lot of app developers are doing this in their free time, so the cost comes out of their own pockets. But before turning away from the Cloud, let’s look at the facts. Windows 8 is anticipating around 600 million users in about one or two years after release, and that’s a huge market. A lot of these users won’t mind paying a few dollars for a great app, or they don’t mind some advertising in the apps. I believe that the best way to monetize your app is by making it free with ads and providing an in-app purchase to get rid of the advertisements. Also, the Windows Azure mobile services can hook into Windows 8, Windows Phone, and iOS apps (as of the time of writing). That is a huge potential market. I’m not saying everyone can get rich by developing apps, that’s only for the lucky few, but I believe that everyone can at least earn the cost of their Cloud account back.

In application development, the integrated development environment (IDE) can make the difference between feeling like you can work easily and focus on the problem your application is supposed to solve and feeling like you are so distracted trying to figure out how to maneuver within the IDE that you cannot focus on the real task of producing software. With the last several versions of Visual Studio, Microsoft has increasingly built upon a reputation of having one of the best development IDEs available. Even many developers who don’t care to develop for the Microsoft platform will say (if grudgingly) that one is hard-pressed to find a better development environment. In this chapter, you will learn about Visual Studio 2012, which is the latest release in this line-up. While complete coverage of the tools and features would take a book of its own, I will cover in this chapter the topics that I consider to be important to finding your way around the environment well enough to complete the exercises in this book. In addition to learning about Visual Studio in general, you will also learn about the project templates that are used to develop applications designed to run on Windows 8.

UAC is a useful but not foolproof way to protect Windows 8 from attack. As comedy sci- ence fiction author Douglas Adams once famously said, “A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.” Although this observation fails to take into account the simple fact that many people are often bemused or confused by technology, or even tricked by malware into clicking something they shouldn’t, it does apply to some degree to UAC. It’s still too easy for a user to click Yes without reading or properly understanding the implications of making such a decision. What isn’t helpful is that UAC messages are frequently unclear, and it can be difficult to determine what is trying to change what.

Despite its name, the Make Everything On Your Screen Bigger option does not change the desktop appearance. To adjust the size of the desktop, search Settings for text size and then select Make Everything On Your Screen Bigger. If the option with the same name is enabled, select it. Windows 8 scales the Start screen and apps designed for Windows 8 to your high-resolution screen, making tiles, images, and text larger. It does not, however, change the appearance of the desktop. If the Make Everything On Your Screen Bigger option is not enabled, your screen resolution is not high enough to use that option. To increase the size of the desktop, search Settings for text size again, and this time select Make Text And Other Items Larger Or Smaller. Select the text size, as shown in Figure 7-2, or click Custom Sizing Options to select a different size. The sizes available to you vary depending on your screen’s resolution. Click Apply, and then sign out and sign back on.

Agenda sering digunakan sebagai sarana pencatat kegiatan dan biasanya berupa catatan harian berupa kertas. Pada saat ini banyak orang menggunakan perangkat smartphone dengan banyak fitur di dalamnya, salah satunya reminder. Reminder biasanya hanya menyimpan kegiatan saja dan jarang yang menggunakan fitur lokasi. Hal itu masih dianggap kurang karena dalam suatu agenda kegiatan pasti seseorang memiliki lokasi tujuan, sehingga alternatif pembangunan aplikasi pengingat aktivitas berbasis lokasi bisa menjadi solusi dari masalah tersebut. Aplikasi Pengingat Aktivitas (REMINDME) merupakan aplikasi yang digunakan pengguna untuk mengatur agenda kegiatan dengan fitur reminder dan lokasi. Dalam fitur lokasi aplikasi ini memanfaatkan Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS bekerja dengan memulai transmisi sinyal dari satelit ke perangkat GPS. Aplikasi ini dibangun di atas platform Windows Phone 8 dengan tools pengembangan Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 yang berbasis bahasa pemrograman C#.

Tiles are the entry point to a Windows Phone application. Windows Phone 8 provides 3 tile templates that you can use to add flair to their application. Each tile template must define the appearance of a tile for each of the 3 available sizes (small, medium, large), which will be visible when a Windows Phone 8 app is pinned to a user’s start screen. You will need to take care to ensure that your live tile represents your application appropriately, while still following the Windows Phone design guidelines, and in a way that captures the user’s attention. This chapter will guide you through the basics of adding live tiles to your application for each template. We close off the chapter by stepping through how to enable lock screen customization from within the app, as well as how to handle integration between the lock screen settings page and the application.
