Windows 8 App Development
Unlike its predecessor Windows 7, Windows 8 is much more than
just an incremental upgrade to the ancestral lineage of similar
operating systems. As per the design team it has been “reimagined
from the chipset to the user experience.”
The interface is
based on the Metro Design Language, the interface is more focused on
making the touch screen input more convenient along with the
traditional keyboard and mouse. So, if you're thinking of upgrading
your current Windows operating system then this upgrade will
increase your demand for all new apps that'll be more suitable or at
least compatible with your new operating system.
This opens up a world of possibility for app development. In order to stay ahead of the growing and ever changing needs of the market, you need to think about where the future is heading. Working with an experienced IT and business company that has extensive knowledge of past market trends can be beneficial to a business looking to remain competitive or even push ahead to the front of the competition.
Metro Style Applications
The production of these apps
involves three stages. The
three stages are
design, development, testing
and distribution. We make
sure to put a little extra
effort to the testing part
of the process to get you an
app that's fool proof.
Business applications are
already being developed for
the new platform and are already
being used in the Windows
Phone. Remaining competitive
is key to maintaining
business profits as the
business market is
continually evolving and is
continually being influenced
by advances in technology.
We have done
a lot of app
development for the Windows
Phone, which uses the same
interface and is designed
using the Metro Design
Language. We have
experience in
designing apps that are more
focused on Touch screen
input. In Windows 8 apps
take center stage, all of
most of them run in full
screen while allowing
multitasking. This also
allows us to make it look as
good as possible while
keeping it as practical as
it needs to be.
More
than just a new app
platform: In case you're
planing on sticking to an
existing, older version of
windows, think again. Metro
style is a design
Philosophy, besides being an
app platform. Also as newer
technology sticks around for
a longer period of time, the
more likely you are to see
the technology integrated
into everyday life.
If you
don't upgrade you'll miss
out on an operating system
that adds to what you may
have been able to do with
your current version of
windows, all the while being
fun and easy to use. It's
much easier to remain two
steps ahead as opposed to
continually trying to play
catch up So,
unless you want to be left
behind, an upgrade is
inevitable.
Some Key Features
If you're not fully
convinced of the benefits of
staying ahead of your
competitors and being seen
as being fresh, new and
innovative by your
customers, then some key
features might help you
realize the benefits of
utilizing Windows 8 apps.
- Since
these are business apps,
practicality is more
important than anything
else, therefore, the content
has been given more
preference.
- The
animations make the controls
quick and intuitive and have
been designed with
convenience of the user as
the top priority.
- The app layout containers
expand and fill up any
remaining unused space on
the screen.
- All the
apps make full use of the
touch screen input but the
keyboard and mouse input
methods are still just as
good, as they were in the
apps developed for previous
versions.
- All our
apps support “snapped” view,
it's a feature of Windows 8
that enables easy
multitasking and they all
run in full screen making it
easy to interact with.
