Good Resources for Developing Windows Store and Office Store Apps (HTML + JavaScript)
After speaking with several developers and partners around the world, I decided to blog this instead of sending emails to all of them every time. Please let me know if I am missing a critical resource.
Since Office has adopted the new HTML + JS model for developing Office Apps, there has been a lot of demand in learning this model and understanding how it fits in the traditional model. The Office Store App model is designed for portability of your apps across multiple kinds of OS. The same app will run wherever Office runs. My personal favorite is the Outlook Contextual App because it enables new scenarios and ways of reaching to your end-user.
When it comes to Windows, HTML + JS is a boon. I have seen a D3.js visualization working in a native Windows Store App like a charm in no time.
Enjoy!

Finally, there are two sites that cover these topics in detail including design and development guidance.
Have fun developing!
