Today Metro Dynamis has announced that people can now download “Metro Dynamic Core Web” that will allow people to easily build Metro UI websites and web apps. This is a free downloadable framework for websites and is intended for use on desktops and tablets. The website describes the the download as:
Is the core framework, needed for your Metro Style Web Application. Is intended for web applications, used through a web browser.
It is possible to buy alternative themes for the framework or just use the default Essence theme that comes with Core Web. Below is a video showing how Metro Dynamis works and what the Essence theme looks like.
The features of Metro Dynamis are:
HTML5/CSS/JavaScript. Metro Dynamis Web is based on the latest Standards and Technologies for Web development present on modern browsers.
Auto layout. Define areas where you want Metro Dynamis to take care of the flow and let the framework do the rest. You can define auto columns and auto collections/lists. It looks at how much screen real state your users have and recalculate all positions, so your information is displayed beautifully on every screen.
Unobtrusive. Metro Dynamis stays out of the way on your development work flow. Just mark the elements with classes and the framework will do the rest.
Extendible. You can use CSS to extend the look and feel of your application with complete freedom, just define your own styles or overwrite the ones given using the cascade.
Resources. You have access to a increasing collection of resources like, Themes, Controls and Assets to enhance the User Experience of your application.
When I have a bit more free time I plan to have a play with this and see how easy it is to use, as far as I can tell it looks very easy. I look forward to seeing people use this on their own sites.
