Windows Eight – The Best Operating System Developers or Terror?

Since the beginning of the speculation, as well as official sources informed about the various features of the forthcoming system, but two things about most zarezonovali were new Ribbon user interface, and this month shown is an application written in Javascript and HTML5. 
Since Microsoft has not given detailed information, and thus sparked a debate on the Internet and millions of anxious developers looking for details about how the development of applications for the upcoming platform. Those is certainly want to capitalize on its knowledge and experience with the development platform. NET, which has been around since 2002. However, Microsoft plans to give details on its Microsoft BUILD conference in September. Peter Bright on ArsTechnica.com article pointing out that testing of the unofficial builds of Windows 8, which appeared on the Internet, based on the upcoming operating system from Redmond quite well. 
Bright in the article also describes the history of more programming for Windows and the native code as well as managing the platform.. NET He writes that in the native code C + + versus technology. NET is much more difficult to program and design a graphical user interface. While programmers in. NET-e windows for graphic design applications using built-in editor that includes a freely available version of Microsoft Visual Studio Express program window applications in native C + + using the Win32 API is much more difficult. The programmer must himself determine the size and position of each element of a graphical user interface and also to strike a distribution of these objects when resizing the application window. 
Differences between the Win32 API and. NET, however, go even deeper into the system architecture. While the Win32 API provides a wide range of detail settings and allows the programmer to control the advanced system settings. NET is architected for rapid development of applications that are easy to work with databases (using the Win32 API is not as convenient), but on the other hand not require to much flexibility in terms of communication with Windows (but the native Win32 API functions can be used indirectly). 
Bright writes that Microsoft announced the integration of technology. NET operating system directly to the PDC conference in 2003, at the time bore the forthcoming operating system, codenamed Longhorn. The original idea was that. NET-e should be written applications such as Explorer and other system applications such as Notepad and Calculator, as well as third party developers could develop applications based on this technology. Compatibility should be left to the option to run native applications, but the Win32 API will no longer continue. 
The vision of this project is not in final form nezavŕšila, since such a move was made then about the power of Microsoft. Peter Bright article assumes that programmers did not have enough time to rewrite all the code needed to. NET-u. Even more weight attaches to the fact that the development of Windows was in charge of division WinDiv while. NET comes from the workshop Developer Division (DevDiv), these two teams nezladili their priorities. The original idea remains so today as Media Center, the only significant in the OS is written in. NET-e. 
Anyway, even though the original plan. NET is shaved off considerably after 9 years as the world’s millions of programmers using this technology. That they are now seriously worried about whether and how they can use their experience with this platform (. NET and Silverlight) to develop applications for Windows 8th 
Windows 8: native code. NET, JavaScript and HTML 5 
Bright writes that Windows 8 will support the technology. NET (current version is marked as 4.5) and the environment for native code C + + called WinRE. As a graphical interface is used DirectUI API, built on a Direct2D DirectWrite API, which now includes Windows 7 Microsoft is just trying to simplify WinRE call API functions, but extends the possibilities. For developers on the platform. NET functions are also available from WinRE and Microsoft to DirectUI API includes support for XAML (layout graphics). 
Microsoft to approximately two worlds – native C + + code to manage. NET-om. API function operating system will thus provide WinRE subsystem for code technology. NET, eliminating problems that programmers have, if they wanted to call some Win32 API functions. Existing applications written in native code will turn the current use graphical user interface without having to be rewritten. NET-u. 
Peter Bright article thus reassured that the future will support both Windows applications in native code as well as a platform.. NET Microsoft presented an application written in Javascript and HTML5 only as a demonstration that it will be doing so well, which probably pleased with the amount of web developers. Would probably be somewhat similar, as were applications HTA (HTML Applications), a classic of websites that will have taken away some rights, such as access to the file system. 
Bright, however, disagrees with the decision Microsoft did not comment on anything until the September conference. Points to the tens of millions of page view Silverlight.net forum users questions and whether it will be possible to write Windows applications in 8 C + +,. NET and XAML. These basic things in his non-facts that should be the official statement at the conference BUILD could change.
