Free ebook from Microsoft Press: Programming Windows 8 Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

The "Programming Windows 8 Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript" free ebook provides comprehensive coverage of the platform for Windows Store apps. Since its second preview in August, the authors have added the remaining chapters on live tiles, notifications, background tasks, background transfers, networking, devices, printing, WinRT components, accessibility, localization, and the Windows Store itself. The final ebook contains 17 chapters. And of course all of the earlier chapters have also been reviewed and refined-over 800 pages in total, along with new and updated companion content!

This book is about writing Windows Store apps using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. The primary focus will be on applying these web technologies within the Windows 8 platform, where there are unique considerations, and not on exploring the details of those web technologies themselves. For the most part, then, the author is assuming that you're already at least somewhat conversant with these standards. The book covers some of the more salient areas like the CSS grid, which is central to app layout.

 Programming Windows 8 Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

You can download the "Programming Windows 8 Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript" ebook in PDF format here (17.9 MB)

Note: The MSDN blog will be updated and you will be able to download EPUB and MOBI formats in the near future.

The ebook's companion content is here (59.9 MB)

p.s. Yet another free book on Windows 8. Poor sales? Too few apps in the Windows app store?
