In my last two posts on JavaScript for Windows 8 I looked at scope and namespaces. I pointed out that namespaces could be used to create “static” classes. I hasten to add they can be used for more, don’t make a hard link in your brain between namespaces and static classes.
In my last post I explained a little about scope in JavaScript and why you should (and the default templates do) wrap each of your files in a self executing function.
One note about my code snippets. For simplicity I will be concatenating what would in a real application be multiple .js files into a single code snippet. I’ll use comments to show you where the files break.
This week at Code52 we are taking on our first Windows 8 app. Just to make it interesting we are doing it using the HTML / JS stack instead of C# / XAML.
