By embracing the power and flexibility of JavaScript, a developer can create data templates that adapt to changing data structures and criteria by using data template functions. This was described in part two of this series. Taking the concept of data template functions a step further, part three will discuss asynchronous data template functions.

In part one, nested data templates were introduced. Nested data templates provide a great way to enhance the flexibility of an app’s user interface. The issue with using nested templates is the simple fact that creating templates in HTML files can be a tedious process.

The previous Magenic Blog post I wrote, “Introducing HTML & JS Data Templates for Metro Apps,” introduced data templates for Windows Store applications. This is a follow up article that will dive deeper with nested data templates where data templates will have data templates! Please read the introductory post if you are unfamiliar with data templates in Windows Store apps.

Now that some of the dust has settled on Microsoft's vision for the direction of the company and their role to enterprise, it's time to have a serious discussion about positioning your company to be ready for the future. This isn’t a blog on 'future-proofing' your infrastructure, but instead a 'peppers' guide to surviving the web's transition to the cloud.

In the third and final installment of this discussion with Magenic south region general manager John Himebook, I ask John about business transformation applications as well as his “Three D’s” that made up the success of this wave of Window 8 Development.

In this second in a series of three videos, Magenic’s John Himebook talks about working directly with Microsoft to develop applications in the Business Transformation category.

In a recent interview, John Himebook mentioned developing a Windows 8 application for Smartvue, a surveillance company. John mentioned it as an example of what Windows 8 can bring to a consumer facing application.

It’s no secret that Magenic is an expert in developing applications for the Microsoft platform. So, I guess it’s no surprise that we can’t wait for Windows 8 to rollout in October…so we didn’t.

I had a chance to sit down with John Himebook, Magenic’s South Region General Manager to talk Windows 8 for Business.

With Windows 8 still many weeks away, Magenic has already build not one, not two, but eight applications. These aren't just proof of concept applications; they are ready for deployment, real world applications.

It seems like just yesterday that Windows “Metro” was everywhere. Wait. It actually was just yesterday.
