All,
I've attached the native Windows RT binaries for 'Qedithtml'.
Qedithtml is a simple WYSIWYG XHTML editor.
I've ported & posted this app at the request of a fellow XDA member who wanted to do some basic HTML editing on his Surface RT tablet.
Cheers!

Hi all,
I have just got my new HD2 and I'm keen to write a couple of apps for it. I have some limited experience with programming Processing, Java and wrote a little bit of C++ a few years ago. I have no experience at all with writing mobile apps so am after a few tips to get me up and going.
I understand its easiest to program through the .Net framework and I can bring up a template through visual basic 2008 for that. The apps I am keen to write will require access to the phones sensors, in particularly the g-sensor and accelerometer. Forums on the net tell me I need to download the SDK for the phone and use that to access all of the phones features. I have the following questions:
Where do I download the SDK for the HTC HD2? Some forums say you just use the standard HTC SDK, is this correct, are they talking about an android SDK and where can I get it from?
In using the SDK, do I simply import it as a package into my code and call up its functions? In which case is there documentation for it?
In case I get stuck, is there any good tutorials online anywhere for programming apps for windows phones?
Probably some very basic questions but they still tripped me up!
Thanks in advance, I look forward to sharing my apps with you.
Cheers all, Ollie1234

Learning XML - Overview
The xml International Standard Organization (ISO) -=[ find xml apps here too ]=- :
http://www.w3.org/standards/xml/
XML is an almost universally supported way of exchanging documents and data across applications and platforms. Microsoft has a family of XML technologies that allows users with differing requirements to do what they need, as simply and efficiently as possible.
Which XML application programming interface (API) should you use? Here are our top-level guidelines:
If you are writing managed code targeting the .NET Framework in C#, Visual Basic, J#, managed C++, or any other managed language, you should use System.Xml and/or LINQ to XML in the .NET Framework.
If you are writing native code using Visual Basic 6, C, C++, or a scripting languages you will probably want to use the MSXML library:
MSXML6 is the latest version that's included with Windows XP SP3 and all versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7. New applications should be using MSXML6.
MSXML5 is an older library optimized for Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007 and can only be used on machines that have an Office license.
MSXML4 is nearing deprecation. MSXML6 should be used for new applications
MSXML3 is included in Windows XP and higher.
Comprehensive list of all MSXML versions and variants
If you are writing native code and your application has tight performance or memory constraints, consider the XmlLite API.
What XML Tools Are Available? Visual Studio offers a core collection:
XML Editor
XML Schema Explorer
XSLT Debugger
XML Tools in Visual Studio overvi

Before you get stuck try to find online books about programming applications/games for windows phones. May be some other kind soul has a link for us?
Anyway have fun informing yourselves folks,
EDiT: Though this thread is created recently a few moments later;
I answered a question like this one in Windows Mobile Software Development which contains way more links than I collected here!!! Plus I plan to keep that thread up2date ie adding more links soon..!

I believe that the common WM SDK does not give access to the G-Sensor and other HTC specific stuff. Some probably hacked G-Sensor information is available. It is not entirely correct but it does work on the HD2.

WM SDK's are mostly a collection of header files, import libs and samples. You include the header files you need in you own code, then you can use the functions they declare, and link with the appropriate libs.
Nice work guys.. Thanks a lot for your assistance. I will post on how I get on!

All,
Please find the attach binaries for the native port of VirtuaWin 4.4 for Windows RT. VirtuaWin is a desktop manager which allows you to organize your windows over multiple virtual desktops.
See the project page for more info: http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/
Very straight forward port, with no code changes required. I have not experienced any bugs with it yet.
Cheers!
Very nice, thanks! I'll add it to the list.
I was considering trying to port Finestra, which I somewhat prefer (another open-source VDM), but this will be fine.
Wow! Great!!
All,
Please find the attached Windows RT native binaries for QuiteRSS 0.13.1. Great little RSS/Atom reader:
http://code.google.com/p/quite-rss/
As with QupZilla, I had to split this into 2 parts due to Qt Webkit. Remove the trailing ".7z" before opening with 7-Zip.
Cheers!
For those interested...
I've put the native Windows RT binaries for Apache 2.0 on GitHub:
https://github.com/bfosterjr/windowsrtdev/blob/master/apps/Apache/2.0.65/bin/apache_2.0.65_arm.7z
Don't even bother asking me how to configure it. There are hundreds of wiki pages, documents, books, etc dedicated to Apache configuration.
Its probably missing some features (SSL comes to mind), but its a working web server for people to tinker with on the tablet. If someone can give me a _compelling reason_ for wanting a full blown Apache web server on a Windows RT tablet, I'm happy to spend more time on this and make it more fully featured.
Cheers!

I'm not sure about use-cases either, but still, this is seriously cool!
Reasons for maintaining a full-blown (at least partial, without HTTPS fancy stuff, but the essentials like mod_rewrite etc.) WAMP (so MySQL and PHP too) stack on Windows RT would be:
1. There would be a platform for developing and testing websites on a Windows RT tablet, much to the delight of potential web developers. We already have Notepad++ as a decent code editor.
2. Porting MySQL (+ libmysql) would be useful for other applications as a library itself, and then PHP is a (overly) popular scripting language which can also be used to develop console applications (php-cli is compiled along with PHP. along with the Apache extension for mod_php). There probably won't be many native Windows RT applications developed for it (the only library for PHP to develop really useful native GUI apps is Php-Gtk, but GTK+ isn't ported and the PHP-GTK project itself is very.. silent), but it is handy if quick stuff needs to be coded. Porting PHP is pretty much close to the reasons for porting Python, plus it can be used on a local web stack too.
3. When a MAMP stack was ported to iOS I remember someone made a working music player (PHPPod) with it, so it still might be useful if the resources are there. I'll personally think of some ideas for "apps" that can be run in the browser with the WAMP stack on Windows RT and try to code them if this is ported.
Hello,
I would like to be able to develop full Node.js apps offiline in my suruface RT, I have seen that there is Node.js, that is great!
It's possible to have mysql server running on RT?
Thank you!

I don't know how easy it would be, I would bet on LXCore + a Windows 10 Frankenbuild for it.(too many ASM)
Maybe someone clever with cross compiler toolchains setup could compile this. There are however many document databases (including one i worked on) written entirely in javascript that work out of box on our nodejs/npm environment, if you are just looking for object stores you can query and save to disk.
