Windows 8 Native Programming with HTML5 and Javascript

Unless you’ve been working under a rock then as a web developer you know that this HTML5 thing is pretty much a big deal. What used to be writing static sites, turned into dynamic AJAX, turned into Single Page Sites, and now native apps on mobile devices. Better yet, people finally see JavaScript as the functional, dynamic language it really is. That means things like Hybrid Development, Apache Cordova, and even Windows 8 are actually a really big deal for us web developers.

Clark (@csell5 (http://twitter.com/csell5/)) is going to talk about how you can take your existing web skills, your favorite open source libraries and write something native on Windows 8. Why should you care, well opportunity and more importantly, money. Let’s have some fun.

About Clark:

Clark is a web evangelist for Microsoft based in Illinois. A Chicago native who can’t spell, Clark as a kid actually made his money building cars, getting grease under his nails. That art of building would later lead him to software development where he drinks the Web Development Kool-Aid. Writing code is what keeps Clark awake at night, while continually working on his craft and rapping with others over a few cold CORS. Clark is the co-founder of a polyglot software development conference called That Conference (http://thatconference.com/). You can hear him muse about software on his podcast Developer Smackdown (http://developersmackdown.com/), or find his family cruising around in their 1968 Camaro SS.
