The Windows 8 Metro platform redefines the way apps access

and manipulate data. In this course we learn how to work with

application data, that is, working data that is created and

accessed by your app on a continuous basis. Traditionally,

app data has been local, but Metro blurs the distinction

between local and remote data by making things such as cloud

storage and app-to-app integration an integral part of both

the user and developer experiences. This course looks at accessing

files, local and remote, as a content source for our apps; it

explores app data storage and roaming as well as the settings

contract; and it takes an in-depth look at app-to-app sharing

through the sharing contract. Before doing so, however, it starts

with a fresh look at the UI side of things, including Metro controls

and data binding. After watching this course, you should feel

comfortable accessing, listing, updating, roaming and sharing

data in your metro apps.
