First Blood With Windows 8 Metro Programming in JavaScript and HTML5/CSS3
|
|
Do you want to know what it would be like
to build your first Windows 8 Metro App in HTML5/CSS3 with the BUILD bits distributed
by Microsoft last year? Having just submitted an app to the windows 8 app store
contest, I (Peter Kellner) will give you a guided tour of the steps I went through.
This includes running the preview of Blend (HTML5 only), Visual Studio 2011 Preview,
all the sample code Microsoft provides as well as the documentation you will run
into if you try to do the same thing. Windows 8 Metro programming is going to be
too big for any of us to ignore. If you want to get a jump start on this new way
of programming windows programming, come to the presentation and hopefully, save
yourself many hours of newby mistakes (like I made). Hope to see you there!
