It's a book covering very basic topics. I was expecting something more advanced (at least partially, but literally there's nothing there). I'd say it's not giving you anything special than any other C# book. I haven't learned anything new from it and I bought it as I wanted to learn something about WPF/XAML as I was writing mostly backend/console applications.If you don't know nothing about programming at all - maybe this book is for you (as well as any other)
Being a self taught developer writing mobile apps, I intrigued by Windows development from the very first time I got my hands on a Windows Phone 7 device. I always had a interest in mobile over desktop because of the always connected factor and the notification system not previously present in desktop OSes. Once Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and tablets started to hit the market I saw something special in how MS was making the experience seamless across all form factors. I am mainly a iOS guy but was always drawned to Windows 8 by it's usage of "Live Tiles". I like to learn things from scratch and build from there. I couldn't find many books on the W8 app development that was a hard read geared towards hardcore Visual Studio users. Well, I came across this book and I've in the past used SAMS Teach Yourself books for web development. This book was equally as useful in teaching me the ropes and arming me with what I needed to get the basics of Windows 8.1 development. Armed with that foundation I am hoping to bring my iPad app over to Windows soon. And thanks to this book it won't be a port but rather a build from scratch know that I know the building blocks of development.
