Microsoft's New Plan To Make People Love Windows 8 Is Starting To Work- Holy Grail app development

When it comes to Windows 8 and Windows Phone, Microsoft has been caught in a Catch-22. People buy devices for the apps. Developers only want to write apps for devices that already have a lot of users.
Microsoft has to convince app developers to write for Windows, not just iOS and Android, in order to sell more devices.
This week during its developer conference, the company unveiled a grand strategy to break the stalemate. It announced a plan to deliver what's known as the "Holy Grail" of app development: write the app once and it runs on everything, Windows 8 devices, Windows Phone 8, Xbox, iOS and Android.
Microsoft's plan consisted of lots of new development software, updates to existing software and new features in its app-hosting cloud Azure. Plus, Microsoft also launched a new software foundation that will bring even more "Holy Grail" tools to app developers, for free.
Many people who attended the conference liked what they heard. A lot. Business Insider talked to a handful of developer attendees at the show who shared these thoughts with us:
  • Thanks to the new tools, a programmer who only writes iOS apps is "going to look at" writing Windows Phone 8 apps.
  • Another told us, "This was a very strategic move. Microsoft is offering a lot of support, making it easy to work with them."
  • One enterprise software developer said that his company is still in the process of upgrading 25,000 people to new PCs running Windows 7. He'll be exploring a new feature in Windows 8.1 that will let him easily add the Windows 8 Modern interface to older, non-touch Windows apps. If it works, his company will buy Windows 8 PCs. "We'll definitely be heading that route when it makes sense."

How to hide url parameters in asp.net

There are different ways to Hide the URL in asp.net , you can choose any one from bellow options . Previously I was Explained about the  Difference between Convert.tostring and .tostring() method Example  ,   Reasons to use Twitter Bootstrap , How to Register AJAX toolkit in web.config file in asp.net a) Using Post Method b) Using Of Session . c) URL Encoding & decoding process . d) Using Server.Transfer() instead of Response.Redirect() method (1)Use a form and POST the information. This might require additional code in source pages, but should not require logic changes in the target pages (merely change Request.QueryString to Request.Form). While POST is not impossible to muck with, it's certainly less appealing than playing with QueryString parameters. (2)Use session variables to carry information from page to page. This is likely a more substantial effort compared to (1), because you will need to take session variable checking into account...
