Throughout this book we’ll explore how to leverage what you know of standards-based web technologies—HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—to build great Windows Store apps for Windows 8.1. In the next chapter we’ll focus on the basics of a working app and the tools used to build i t. Then we’ll look at fundamentals like the fuller anatomy of an app, incorporating web content, using controls and collections, layout, commanding, state management, and input (including sensors), followed by chapters on media, animations, contracts through which apps work together, live tiles and toast notifications, accessing peripheral devices, WinRT components (through which you can use other programming languages and the additional APIs they can access), expanding your reach through localization and accessibility, and working with the Windows Store. There is much to learn—it’s a rich platform!
