Windows 8 Metro and companion Phone app in two weeks

Microsoft is sponsoring a Windows 8 app building contest. Entries are due January 8. I have two weeks off for Christmas and New Years. So I know what I’ll be doing.

For the next two weeks, I will keep regular office hours. By the end of the two weeks, I will have a HoneyDo List Metro application and a companion Windows Phone application.

I’m starting with:

Correspondence for Silverlight, Web, and Windows Phone

Bare bones HoneyDo List for Silverlight

Bare bones HoneyDo List for Windows Phone started at the Mobile Hackathon at the AT&T Foundry in Plano

Bare bones HoneyDo List for Web running on App Harbor

My tasks are:

Implement un-publishing in Correspondence

Port Correspondence to Windows 8 Metro

Display and edit lists in Windows 8 Metro

Display a QR Code in Windows 8 Metro

Consume the QR Code in Windows Phone

Display a QR Code in Windows Phone

Submit Windows Phone app to the Marketplace

If I have time left over, I’ll spend it styling the web application.

Follow my progress on Twitter. I will also post regular video demonstrations on this blog.
