Details
For this iteration of Metro Friday, I am excite to announce special guest speakers Christina Seong and Valentina Ferrari. Christina and Valentina are professional designers from Blink Interactive. Design is a massive consideration for any Windows 8 application, and Microsoft's design principles are clear and accommodating, but they'll need some back story and some descriptions and that's what the gals from Blink Interactive are here to help us with.
