Adding Backends to WinRT Metro Apps( Windows 8 app backend )

If you're really into the app development, WinRT is one of the most interesting new platform which is coming to release soon. App developer like myself can't wait to develop fun and utility apps for the new platform. Nowadays, every app contains social and backends features to make the app always connected through different devices and platform.

WinRT main feature is the connectivity and you can imagine how beautiful your app will be if they looks the same on the Desktop PCs, Tablets and Phones as well. What even all the data are sync through all the devices. For example, a to-do list which is created with the desktop PCs can also be able to view the same data from the mobile while going out?

With the help of CloudyRec, it becomes to add backend service in a very easy and handy way.

CloudyRec is a server-side backend platform for mobile apps and games. Backend implementation for mobile apps typically requires complicated server setups, API developments, server monitoring, management and maintenance processes. CloudyRec provides a complete managed backend platform for mobile apps that can be set up and ready to use instantly.

CloudyRec is free for all developers in any development stages and it means that the developers don't have to pay a penny while testing or developing the app. 

You can go to http://CloudyRec.com to sign up to start adding of backend database into your uber Metro app development.

I am planning to write a tutorial of creating a simple Todo-List metro style app using CloudyRec as a backend service. Please subscribe the blog to read more about CloudyRec tutorials to boost the games  and app backend development.

Using XAML on Monogame for WinRT (Part 2)

Integrating Monogame with XAML Metro UI If you're coming from the previous section, you now have a metro UI application project with blank page and also have monogame.windows8 library reference to the project. Now Let's fix some source code for the  pages to get XAML working with monogame. Step01 ( Hacking App.xaml.cs file) App.xaml.cs delivers the most important start point while rendering a particular page in Metro UI application. I added gamePage and mainPage as  a public variables as they become accessible from other classes to for page nagivations. Here is the source code for to see what it looks like for the final App.xaml.cs file. sealed partial class App : Application     {         public ContentManager Content { get; set; }         public GameServiceContainer Services { get; set; }         public GamePage gamePage;         public MainPage mainPage;   ...

Using CloudyRec Code Generator

The greatest CloudyRec feature among other backend service provider is the Code Generator where it can generate the native modal source code with the specified schema in the previous " Getting Started " section. Sandbox Environment When you’ve satisfied the attributes and resources for the applications, you can start loading into the sandbox to make the apps ready for testing.  Go to the Define tab of the dashboard and click the “Load to sandbox” button located at the right side of the application name as shown in the figure below. Figure 1.0 Loading to Sandbox environment Note : In CloudyRec, there are two types of development modes available called Sandbox and Production. Sandbox is for testing the applications while developing and it’s totally free and developer doesn’t needs to pay a penny while using Sandbox.  I would recommend to put into production mode once you’ve published the apps as the data from the Sandbox will be flushed in ti...

Using XAML on Monogame for WinRT (Part 1)

Introduction Since I am planning to develop games for WinRT, I found out that the MonoGame is the most suitable framework for people like me who has experience with developing games with XNA framework. Although Windows Phone 7 offers to integrate Silverlight components with XNA, WinRT architecture is completely different from the previous framework. XNA games are not allowed to upload and showcase to new appstore because of the new terms and condition requirements and there's no way to integrate new Metro UI with XNA either. MonoGame solves this problem by creating XNA framework like wrapper over SharpDX which is the best and fastest DirectX wrapper available on current opensource projects.  However MonoGame offers XNA looks alike framework, the best solution would be combining Metro UI with MonoGame framework. Here is the tutorial of how to integrate MetroUI with MonoGame framework. Thanks to  Petrroll  on MonoGame forum for the sample code of MonoGame with XAM...
