Take a ride on the Metro with Jeffrey Richter and Jeff Prosise as they kick Devscovery Austin off with a keynote presentation detailing how to build Metro-Style apps for Win8.

 

WinRT…WinJS…Metro…Windows 8. Windows programming is changing in a big way, and now’s the time to understand what Microsoft is doing and why. What is Metro, and what does the programming model look like? Will your existing Silverlight skills port to the new platform? And what about HTML5 and JavaScript? What role do they play in Windows 8, and how do you choose between XAML and C# and HTML5 and JavaScript? Join Jeffrey and Jeff as they take you on a guided tour through the Metro landscape and show what the new APIs look like.
