Building Windows 8 Apps with C# and XAML with William Wegerson, C# MVP

Microsoft is now focusing on the consumer instead of line of business applications and has shifted away from Silverlight. But that doesn't mean that the Silverlight developer is left in the lurch. The bridge to Windows 8 development is Xaml and that is the glue of Silverlight. William will demonstrate on a Windows 8 machine with a beta Visual Studio 11 how to create a windows 8 app using that Xaml bridge. The application built during the presentation will be posted on William's blog (omegacoder.com).

William Wegerson has been a C# MVP for three years and is passionate about all software technologies. His overriding belief is that the one should use the right technology for the right situation; a true systems integration approach to software development.
