Windows 8 App Dev Course is a free, no-fluff, hands-on events for developers, by developers. You learn from Microsoft expert Stepan Bechynsky in a low-key, interactive way how to build a realistic Windows Store app either using C# and XAML (Jan 14) or JavaScript and HTML (Jan 15).
Windows is the largest platform in the world with over a billion Window PCs in current use and nearly 690 million Windows 7 devices. Windows 8 is the next version of Windows with 40 million licenses sold in first month. Windows 8 provides a new platform for apps with unprecedented reach across devices from tablets, PCs to all-in-ones, all with the same app (more information on The Opportunity here).
If you have .NET and C# background, then participate in C# & XAML course. If you’ve developed web apps, you’re ready to build Windows Store apps in JavaScript & HTML. During the course you’ll learn to work with Windows 8 controls, view states, contracts, tiles and notifications, the Windows Store APIs, and other Windows 8 features.
REGISTRATION [UPDATE] Both courses turned out to be very popular and are now sold out!
The training is free but seats are limited! Preference is given to those attendees, who aim to develop a concrete app after the course.
Please register by January 8 and let us know on which date you want to attend, include the attendee contacts and specify which app you’re planning to build.
PS! You’ll need to bring your own laptop and have it preloaded with Windows 8 and all the free tools and SDKs on (Downloads Page). AGENDA

Tänavune Redmondis toimuv //BUILD 2012 arenduskonverents müüdi kiiresti välja, kuid kõigil huvilistel hea võimalus jälgida avakõne ka reaalajas veebis. Teemadest fookuses loomulikult Windows 8, aga ka Windows Phone 8, Windows Azure, Visual Studio 2012, Xbox jpm põnevat. See 2h on väärt investeering, sest avakõne tempo, teemade uudsus ja demode rohkus on seni olnud tasemel.
Lisaks on kohapeal Eesti korrespondendina meie Windows IT Pro MVP Heiki Tähis, kes koos teiste kohalike arendusgurudega jagavad oma avakõne muljeid reaalajas läbi “live” blogi.
Niisiis, ühine meiega homme õhtul 30. oktoober kell 18.00:
Homseni
Eessõna: tere blogi, oled mulle endiselt kallis ja ma pole Sind ära unustanud!
Windows 8 väljatulekuni 26. oktoobril on jäänud alla kahe nädala ja juba praegu leidub palju hulgilitsentsi või MSDN ning DreamSpark kasutajaid, kes on enda koopia juba arvutile peale pannud. Seniks kuni me kõik hangime endale uued vinged puutetundlikud seadmed, pakub Windows 8 väga produktiivset kasutajakogemust ka tavalistes arvutites. Eriti, kui tead järgnevaid hiire kasutamise nippe ning kiirklahve.

Hea võimalus enne 7. juuni hilisõhtust Azure veebiülekannet on koguneda teiste kohalike arendajatega DevClub.ee kohtumisel kel 19.00 Oru hotellis. Nõustun igati DevClub veebis toodud kutsega, et “kohtumine on teemade poolest kirev kui rähni kuub, seega leiavad loodetavasti kõik midagi, mis huvi pakub”
Kavas on 3 ettekannet, mille vahel ja lõpus saab mõnusas seltskonnas muljeid vahetada:
Kohtumiseni 7. juunil ja loodetavasti näete tulevikus rohkemgi Eneta ja DevClub ühisüritusi. Registreeruda saad http://devclub.ee
PS. Henn on ka varem DevClubis üles astunud, “LINQ .NET-võhikutele” videosalvestus asub SIIN.
Meile väga sobilikult toimub 7. juuni hilisõhtul kell 23.00 otseülekanne San Franciscos aset leidvalt “Meet Windows Azure” sündmuselt. Nii et kui oled suur Azure huviline, Sul pole und või oled öise režiimiga, siis uskuge mind, kohe kindlasti ei pea sisu osas pettuma.
