Restaurant & Hotel App for Windows 8

Introduction

Right after the BUILD conference in October 2011 I started with my first app. The app was first build for the developer preview and rebuilt for the consumer preview. The app shows the news of the restaurant, the daily menu, the opening hours, an image gallery, you can make a reservation, rate the restaurant and plan an event.

It includes general features a Windows Store App should have. We use eg.

• semantic zoom
• the share contract
• search contract.

Furthermore we designed the app using the windows design guidelines and user experice.
The app is fast and fluid.

Enclosed you find our store package of the app.

You find the app here in the Windows Store.
