About the Book
Get a headstart evaluating and programming with Microsoft’s next-generation client operating system.
Get an expert, developer-focused introduction to the next generation Windows client operating system. Windows programming authority Brent Rector takes you inside the WinFX application model, explaining how its unified, managed-code environment dramatically simplifies many programmatic “housekeeping” tasks and provides application security services from the very beginning of the development process. Then you’ll jump right into compiling, deploying, and running your first applications. From learning the new Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) to taking advantage of the radical enhancements in security and privacy features, unified storage, file system APIs, rich media, and collaboration and communication services—you get the prerelease insights and code to dig into the “Longhorn” API right now.
Discover how to:
•Design applications using the WinFX application model
•Work with the Microsoft .NET Build Engine
•Exploit XAML to produce media-rich user interfaces and enhance online page navigation
•Use the new WinFS storage system to access, manipulate, extend, and share data with less programmatic complexity
•Move information between a .NET object and the UI and back again—without writing any procedural code—using data binding
•Create security-enhanced communication applications—from Web services to RemoteObjects—using Microsoft’s new “Indigo” technology
•Write mobile applications with improved power management, grab-and-go docking, and wireless networking capabilities
