Windows phone 8 oData SAP apps – free resources
Can I in advance apologise for posting yet another “Microsoft” related blog post. It comes from my research in how best to write a Windows phone 8 app using existing skills within the Capgemini Mobile App factory.
My conclusions to date are that we should code Windows store apps using HTML5 / CSS3 / Javascript and use the WinJS library etc. As its fairly easy to use a Javascript environment to synchronise data with Netweaver Mobile / Hana. And with SUP 2.2 whenever Sybase release it !
I would have preferred to use SUP Replication, but no such capability yet exists.
Late last week I discovered that Microsoft has a new path in their MCSD (Microsoft Certified Solution Developer) certification path. Namely 70-480, 70-481, 70-482 all to do with writing apps which are HTML5 enabled. For example Microsoft. Exam 70-480
Whats cool 🙂 is that the exam can be taken for free using voucher code HTMLJMP, 😛 I have already booked my place using this code.
Microsoft have also launched a good series of Training Video’s to get up to speed on HTML5 etc, the best place to watch these if from the MVA – Microsoft Virtual Academy Jump start video’s :
Microsoft virtual academy – tracks – developing-html5-apps-jump-start
And lastly there is an excellent Book which can be read that covers the subject:
A-book-on-windows-8-apps-and-html
For those in Madrid’s SAP innoJam – You have 48 hours to watch all the video’s 🙂
Other Blogs worth reading:

help, voucher code HTMLJMP not working on web site
In the combo where "voucher code" is shown try "promotion code" instead.
Yes that worked, thanks.
Just passed my free exam this morning at MK 🙂 70-480 sorted. ➕
