Course description
This course will start out reviewing traditional CSS3 Layout, including flexbox, regions, and multicolumn layout. Then we will discuss WinJS controls that support additional UI layout options, including the ListView, SemanticZoom, and ViewBox controls. We will see that the ListView displays items in grid or list layout, whereas the SemanticZoom supports zoom between two semantic levels, and the ViewBox allows for dynamically scaling single child element to fill available space without changing aspect ratio.
Prerequisites
This course assumes that students have some programming background and experience using Visual Studio 2010/2012 and Java Script, HTML5 and CSS3. In addition, the course assumes some basic knowledge of XAML markup and basic knowledge of Windows Store applications and Windows 8.
