ModernApps
ModernApps will be a collection of apps built using modern technologies, techniques and designs.
###ModernWeb (demo : http://developermx.azurewebsites.net/?&pg=ReaderRecordsHome01|Reader/)
Building out a UIFramework that delivers functionality found in very modern websites and modern UI/UX's like
- Outlook.com
- Office365.com
- Office Web Apps
- Skydrive.com
Design will closely mirror Metro found in
- Windows 8
- XBox360

Its built using TypeScript where possible, the bits that arnt are third-party libraries. However over time I envision converting these third party libraries into TypeScript enabled libraries
Needs:
- VS2012
- Azure .NET SDK ( http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/ )
- TypeScript 0.8.2 ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34790 )
