Since launching of Windows RT
model, in internet we see buzz of Windows 8 application development. Before
developing any application it is very important for creating it’s development environment.
Many times during my professional
discussion we came to situation of what’s software requirement for developing
any Windows 8 based application?
Below are must things for
developing windows 8 application.
·
Windows 8 OS, you can’t create application on
any other OS (i.e windows 7).
·
Visual Studio 2012, you can develop your
application in Visual studio’s latest version. There are few choice you can
have , which version you are using of IDE (i.e express, professional,
enterprise, ultimate etc)
·
Developer account, for developing any windows
application it asks for your developer account. You need to specify your live id
(i.e hotmail, live, msn, outlook) credential and system will do rest of things
for you.
·
For developing Windows mobile 8, you will need
to install Windows phone 8 SDK explicitly. It does not come along with your
Visual studio installation.
Hope, this check list will help
you building up your development environment.
Happy Windows 8 app development!!
Best of luck!
