Acquisitions, Developmental, and Project Editor: Devon Musgrave Cover: Twist Creative • Seattle and Joel Panchot 2 Introduction It seems like it was only a few months ago that I was writing the introduction for the first edition of this book, Programming Windows 8 Apps in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Of course, it was only 8 months ago! It’s been a remarkably short time between the release of Windows 8 and the Windows 8.1 Preview that we’ve made available as of June 26th 2013 for the //build conference. And yet much has been improved in the Windows platform during that time. First of all, however, let me thank the hundreds of thousands of readers who downloaded the first edition of this ebook, both directly from Microsoft Press and from the Amazon Kindle store where the book has maintained a high ranking among programming titles as well as within the broader computer & technology category. I’m delighted that this work has been serving you well, and I was certainly inspired to start in on this second edition as soon as I began reading the specifications for Windows 8.1 Preview. My notes on what to add, what to change, and what to expand are quite lengthy! In this First Preview of the second edition, which constitutes only those chapters that I and my editors have worked through so far, I will not cover the whole Windows 8.1 Preview story, of course. For that I can still recommend the first edition of this book as a basis. Then check out the session videos from //build 2013 that you can find through http://buildwindows.com. The Windows Developer Center, http://dev.windows.com, also has updated documentation that covers the Windows 8.1 Preview, so you can find much more there. I can specifically recommend Windows 8.1 Preview: New APIs and features for developers. This second edition is intended to stand alone for developers who are starting with Windows 8.1 Preview. It represents the state of Windows 8.1 Preview rather than trying to document the delta from Windows 8. For this reason I’m not going into much detail about migrating apps from Windows 8 nor trying to highlight all the changes to both APIs and behaviors. Check the Developer Center for such information. Here’s a quick summary of what’s in this First Preview: Chapter 1, “The Life Story of a Windows Store App,” is much the same as in the first edition, with some small additions. For the most part, the core characteristics of the Windows platform is the same as with Windows 8, with the biggest exception being the view model for apps where we now have a variable sizing model. Chapter 2, “Quickstart,” is updated for Windows 8.1 Preview, and I’ve added some sections that cover extra improvements to the Here My Am! app that we’ll be building over the course of the book. Chapter 3, “App Anatomy, Page Navigation, and Promises,” is expanded from the first edition. Besides updating the text for small bits like new tile sizes in Windows 8.1 Preview, I’ve added a section on extended splash screens, tightened up the discussion of promises, written out some 3 details of the new task scheduler for the UI thread, and included a new section on debugging and profiling. Chapter 4, “Using Web Content and Services,” is a mixture of new content and networking topics from the first edition’s Chapter 14. I moved these topics earlier in the book because using web content is increasingly important for apps, if not essential. This chapter covers network connectivity, hosting content (especially with the new webview control), making HTTP requests (especially through the new Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient API), background transfers (which have been improved), authentication, and a little on Live Services. Appendix A, “Demystifying Promises,” completes the discussion of promises that starts in Chapter 3. That is, Chapter 3 covers the essentials about using promises, which are often returned from asynchronous Windows Runtime APIs. After writing the first edition, I wanted to spend more time with promises for my own sake, but it’s just my nature to leave a paper trail of my learnings! So, in this appendix we start from scratch about what promises are, see how promises are expressed in WinJS, explore how to create and source promises, and then pick apart some specific promise-heavy code. Appendix B, “Additional Networking Topics,” contains material that is related to Chapter 4 but didn’t fit into that flow or that is more peripheral in nature. As you can see, in this second edition I’ll be using appendices to go deeper into certain topics that would be too much of a distraction from the main flow of the chapters. Let me know what you think. Some of this material I’ve already posted on my blog, http://www.kraigbrockschmidt.com/blog, where I’ve been working on various topics since we published the first edition. I’ll continue to be posting there, though perhaps not quite on a daily basis as work on this second edition takes priority! Be mindful that the chapter organization of this second edition is still in flux, so references to later chapters are subject to change. As you can expect from the length of the change list I mentioned earlier, I’m going to be adding many pages to this second edition that all need to be appropriately organized! Who This Book Is For This book is about writing Windows Store apps using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Our primary focus will be on applying these web technologies within the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Preview platform, where there are unique considerations, and not on exploring the details of those web technologies themselves. For the most part, then, I'm assuming that you're already at least somewhat conversant with these standards. We will cover some of the more salient areas like the CSS grid, which is central to app layout, but otherwise I trust that you're capable of finding appropriate references for most everything else.

It provides a machine abstraction and hardware-agnostic instruction sets, where a high-level programming language can target the compilation to the Wasm instead of specific hardware architecture. The JavaScript engine implements the Wasm specification and recompiles the Wasm instruction to the target machine instruction where the program is executed. Technically, Wasm is similar to a popular virtual machine bytecode, such as Java Virtual Machine (JVM) or Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL).

  • Introduction to Windows 7
    [Not for Circulation] Introduction to Windows 7 This document provides a basic overview of the new and enhanced features of Windows 7 as well as instructions for how to request an upgrade. Windows 7 at UIS Windows 7 is Microsoft’s latest operating system. Beginning in the fall of 2010, UIS will upgrade all classroom and lab PCs to Windows 7. Any new PC that is ordered will automatically come installed with Windows 7. To request an upgrade, contact the Technology Support Center (TSC) at 217/206-6000 or [email protected]. The TSC will evaluate your machine to see if it’s capable of running Windows 7. (Your computer needs a dual core processor and at least 2 GB of RAM.) Please note that University licensing does NOT cover distribution of Windows 7 for personally owned computers. However, it is available for a discounted price via the WebStore at http://webstore.illinois.edu. What to Consider Before Upgrading There is no direct upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7. Therefore, the TSC will take your computer, save your files, and install Windows 7 on a clean hard drive. Please budget a couple days for this process. In some cases, you may have older devices that will not work with Windows 7. While many vendors are providing and will continue to provide drivers for their hardware, in some cases, printers, scanners, and other devices that are more than 5 years old may have issues running on Windows 7. To check the compatibility of your devices with Windows 7, visit the Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility Center at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx.

  • Defensive Javascript Building and Verifying Secure Web Components
    Defensive JavaScript Building and Verifying Secure Web Components Karthikeyan Bhargavan1, Antoine Delignat-Lavaud1, and Sergio Maffeis2 1 INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt, France 2 Imperial College London, UK Abstract. Defensive JavaScript (DJS) is a typed subset of JavaScript that guarantees that the functional behavior of a program cannot be tampered with even if it is loaded by and executed within a malicious environment under the control of the attacker. As such, DJS is ideal for writing JavaScript security components, such as bookmarklets, single sign-on widgets, and cryptographic libraries, that may be loaded within untrusted web pages alongside unknown scripts from arbitrary third par- ties. We present a tutorial of the DJS language along with motivations for its design. We show how to program security components in DJS, how to verify their defensiveness using the DJS typechecker, and how to analyze their security properties automatically using ProVerif. 1 Introduction Since the advent of asynchronous web applications, popularly called AJAX or Web 2.0, JavaScript has become the predominant programming language for client-side web applications. JavaScript programs are widely deployed as scripts in web pages, but also as small storable snippets called bookmarklets, as down- loadable web apps,1 and as plugins or extensions to popular browsers.2 Main- stream browsers compete with each other in providing convenient APIs and fast JavaScript execution engines. More recently, Javascript is being used to program smartphone and desktop applications3, and also cloud-based server ap- plications,4 so that now programmers can use the same idioms and libraries to write and deploy a variety of client- and server-side programs.
