4.0 out of 5 starsA Great Book for Developers Trying to Understand HTML5 and JavaScript
By iMe on November 19, 2013
Format: Paperback
With the release of Windows 8, Microsoft brought the concept of launching apps to an operating system that could be used on a wide range of computers – ranging from tablets to desktops. There are several methods for developing applications on Windows 8 and one of these is with HTML5 and JavaScript. In this book, written by Dino Esposito, and his son, Francesco Esposito, they hope to show that developing apps for Windows 8 is something many can accomplish with some knowledge of existing web or development technologies – after all, Francesco was only 15 when they published start here! Build Windows 8 Apps with HTML5 and JavaScript.

The authors suggest some knowledge of HTML5 and JavaScript, and wrote the book to target “experienced beginners”. These are people with development experience in other languages, such as COBOL, or older .NET languages like Visual Basic 6. In other words, the book is for anyone who is new to Windows 8, Windows Phone, Single-page applications, or Silverlight. Those who are advanced developers may not appreciate the book as much.

Targeted towards beginners, the book starts off nicely by boosting the reader’s confidence and their abilities in writing mobile apps. The authors claim that creating mobile apps is now easier than ever and that is why we see a lot more teenage developers today than we ever did in past generations. A mobile app generally focuses on completing a task, does not take much coding, and makes it easier to convert ideas into applications. By knowing HTML5 and JavaScript we can create mobile apps that might improve our daily lives or apps to sell in the Windows marketplace. The initial focus is on mobile apps running on the Windows Phone platform, perhaps the easiest mobile platform to develop for.Read more ›
