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
• Windows Phone 8

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 )

Demo:

• running on azure websites the demo can be buggy as it is forever under development
