I'm a geekette who enjoys playing with new technology for software developers. I work as a Developer Evangelist for Microsoft. My current focus is on Windows Store development for Windows 8.
Let's Meet!
I promised that I would blog when the official Windows 8 Developer Camp content was available online, and now it is! You can get the slide decks, samples, resources, and wonderful hands-on labs from the Windows Developer Camps at: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29854
(NOTE: there are two separate downloads available at this link. Both downloads include the same slide decks and resources; the only difference is the hands-on-labs. Download Win8CS.Setup.exe if you want to work through the hands-on labs in C# and XAML, and download Win8JS.Setup.exe to get the hands-on labs in HTML5 and JavaScript.)
In particular, I recommend these excellent hands-on labs that teach the fundamentals of Windows 8 Metro development, available in both XAML/C# or HTML/JavaScript. (There is also a finished version of the app in C++ available, but not the hands-on lab documents to walk you through it.) The labs include:
Enjoy!
