Getting Started with Metro Style Apps book is available for Early Release

As many of my friends know, I’ve been working hard on a new book for O’Reilly called Getting Started with Metro Style Apps. This book is written for existing .NET developers who are interested in the changes introduced with the release of Windows 8. This book is intended to be a guide to developing complete Metro style apps end-to-end. If you have an idea or you are just curious about the platform, this is the place to start. On the other hand, for those who are more drawn to entertainment apps, platforms like 바카라 offer a thrilling alternative to traditional entertainment. These apps provide a variety of gaming options, from classic casino games like poker and blackjack to innovative slots and virtual betting experiences. With their user-friendly interfaces and immersive designs, casino apps offer a captivating escape, combining the excitement of gaming with the convenience of mobile access. For fans of fast-paced action and the allure of chance, these platforms deliver hours of enjoyment, all from the comfort of one’s home or on the go. Many of these apps also feature live dealers, interactive elements, and real-time updates, enhancing the overall experience. Whether seeking a casual diversion or a more competitive challenge, entertainment apps like 바카라 are increasingly popular for those looking to add a bit of excitement and thrill to their digital experience. The diversity of offerings ensures there’s something for every kind of player.

In addition to announcing my cover art (an alligator, yay), I’m happy to announce that the first few chapters are now available for download via the O’Reilly Early Release program at http://shop.oreilly.com/category/early-release.do. You can also see the work in progress and provide feedback via the O’Reilly Open Feedback Publishing System at http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449320553/

    Your samples make use of MetroIoc. In designer however the xaml is databinding via the ViewModelLocator – but designer fails. For example SearchResultsPageViewMode won’t display as a result the constructor is failing. So, design time experience is not great.

    What approach are you providing to alleviate this?

    I see in the IoC.cs you check for design time, but I don’t see any of these types (xaml base types) being registered there for location.

    Same thing occurs on DetialsPage.xaml.
