[Link] REQUIREMENTS
THE PROJECT REQUIREMENTS ARE: 1)Hardware Requirements. 2)Software Requirements. 2.1. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: Windows 8 x86 (32-bit version) 1GHz Processor 1GB RAM 16GB storage space Windows 8 x86_64 (64-bit version) 1GHz Processor 2GB RAM 20GB storage space

2.2. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: Operating System: WINDOWS 8 Software: VISUAL STUDIO 2012 & BLEND Windows Runtime (WINRT)

3. SOFTWARES
The softwares used in building the project are: 1)Windows 8. 2)Visual Studio 2012 & BLEND. 3.1. WINDOWS 8: Windows 8 is an operating system produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs. Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's graphical user interface and platform, such as a new interface design incorporating a new design language used by other Microsoft products, a new Start screen to replace the Start menu used by previous versions of Windows, a new online store that can be used to obtain new applications, along with a new platform for apps that can provide what developers described as a "fast and fluid" experience with emphasis on touchscreen [Link] security features were also added to the operating system, such as a built-in antivirus program and a secure boot feature on systems with UEFI firmware. Secure boot requires the operating system to be digitally signed to protect malware from infecting the boot process. The implementation of this feature has sparked controversy among supporters of free software. Windows 8 also introduces an edition of the operating system designed to run on devices that utilize the ARM architecture, known as Windows RT. 3.1.1. FEATURES: DESKTOP AND SHELL: Windows 8 employs a new user interface based on Microsoft's Metro design language. The environment features a new tile-based Start screen similar to that of the Windows Phone operating system, which has replaced the previous Start menu entirely. The Start screen displays a customizable array of tiles linking to various apps and desktop programs, some of which can display constantly updated information and content through "live tiles". As a form of [Link]: Windows 8 introduces a new style of application, Windows Store apps; Microsoft developer Jensen Harris intends these apps to provide a "fast and fluid" experience; referring to their optimization for touch screen environments and their smaller scope in relation to desktop applications. Apps can run either in a full-screen mode, or be docked directly to the side of a screen. They can also provide notifications and a "live tile" on the Start screen for dynamic

content. Apps can also use "contracts", a collection of hooks to provide common functionality that can integrate with other apps, such as search and sharing. These apps are primarily distributed and updated through its namesake Windows Store, a new distribution platform. [Link] WITH ONLINE SERVICES: Windows 8 provides heavier integration with Microsoft's online services. Users can now log in with a Microsoft account (formally known as a Windows Live ID), which can allow for various user settings to be synchronized between multiple computers. Windows 8 ships with an app for Microsoft's Sky Drive cloud storage service as well. [Link] FEATURES: Internet Explorer 10 is included as both desktop program and as a touch-optimized app. The latter does not support plugins or ActiveX components, but includes a version of Adobe Flash Player that is optimized for touch and low power usage and works only on sites included on a whitelist. It is now possible to log into Windows using a Microsoft account (formerly known as a Windows Live ID). This allows the user's profile and settings to be synchronized over the Internet and accessible from other computers running Windows 8, as well as integration with Sky Drive. Two new authentication methods have been added: picture password, which allows users to log in by drawing three gestures in different places on a picture and PIN log in, which allows users to authenticate using a four digit pin.

[Link] STUDIO EXPRESS 2012

Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 is your tool to build apps for the Windows Store. It includes the Windows 8 SDK, Blend for Visual Studio, and languages and templates in JavaScript, C++, C# and Visual Basic. Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 also includes a device simulator that you can use to test apps on multiple form factors. [Link]: Requirements for Visual Studio 2012 are Windows Vista or higher, and the Ultimate version is Microsofts all-in-one Application Lifecycle Management platform. Visual Studio 2012 Premium meanwhile, offers users a plethora of diagnostic and testing tools, but does not include the high-level architecture and modeling support. Visual Studio 2012 Professional is your entrylevel developer product catering to the very basic needs. [Link]: Microsoft is pushing its new platform hard, and Visual Studio has all you need to build what the IDE calls Windows Store apps. Given that the platform is new, the tool support is impressive. You can design the user interface either in XAML, the XML language first used for WPF, or in HTML. XAML has a two-way visual designer, so you can edit either in code or visually and the changes are synchronized. A separate application called Blend provides a design tool for both XAML and HTML.

You can debug a Windows Runtime app either by running it locally, or in a simulator, or on a remote device. The simulator is intriguing because it is actually a remote session into your own machine, providing a way of running not-Metro apps in a window. The simulator lets you adjust resolution, fake multi-touch, and take screenshots. Note though that it is not a safe environment, since it is a real session on your development machine. Microsoft has made Azure deployment easier in this edition of Visual Studio. Azure apps now take several forms. If you choose the Cloud option in a Visual Studio template, you can create applications according to the old model: Web Role, WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) Role, Background Worker Role and so on. You can debug on a local Azure compute emulator. When it comes to deployment, you can generate and upload a certificate to authorise your PC, following which Visual Studio can easily publish the application, and even enable remote desktop to the Azure Virtual Machines

4. PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
4.1C# C# (pronounced "C sharp") is a programming language that is designed for building a variety of applications that run on the .NET Framework. C# is simple, powerful, type-safe, and objectoriented. The many innovations in C# enable rapid application development while retaining the expressiveness and elegance of C-style languages. Visual C# is an implementation of the C# language by Microsoft. Visual Studio supports Visual C# with a full-featured code editor, compiler, project templates, designers, code wizards, a powerful and easy-to-use debugger, and other tools. The .NET Framework class library provides access to many operating system services and other useful, well-designed classes that speed up the development cycle significantly.

The particular use-case of my projects -"JOG MY MEMORY"is indeed a successful attempt to know the basic details of the nation faster and easier. The Mini-Project gave an ample opportunity for me to learn about the latest software like "VISUAL STUDIO 2012" and its aspects and features. Coding is the other issue which I have come across during the "JOG MY MEMORY" Windows 8 App Project. It also gave me an opportunity to learn design elements like xml, html etc.
