Design case study: iPad to Windows 8 Metro style app

[This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.]

iOS is a popular platform for creating apps that are touch first, fun, and engaging. With the introduction of Windows 8 Consumer Preview, designers and developers have a new platform to unleash their creativity.

In this case study we want to help designers and developers who are familiar with iOS to reimagine their apps using Metro style design principles. We show you how to translate common user interface and experience patterns found in iPad apps to Windows 8 Metro style apps. We draw on our experience building the same app for the iPad and for Windows 8. We use common design and development scenarios to show how to leverage the Windows 8 platform and incorporate Metro style design principles.

To learn more about the business opportunity of Windows 8, see Selling apps. For more info about the features used to build Metro style apps, see the Windows 8 Product Guide for Developers.
