Building a Windows Store app with JavaScript (20 minutes)

G. Andrew Duthie

Come learn how you can leverage your knowledge of JavaScript to build great native apps for Windows 8 and Windows RT. You'll get an overview of how a Windows Store app is put together, and also see how you can leverage existing HTML and JavaScript content (including 3rd party libraries like jQuery) inside a Windows Store app.

Presentations will begin at 6:30.

Location: Advertising.com on the Under Armor campus

Advertising.com (http://www.advertising.com/) has offered their space to us for our meetups, it's located in the Ivory Building.

The Ivory building is at the end of Haubert St in Locust Point. The area is served by the Charm City Circulator (http://www.charmcitycirculator.com/) "Banner Route", as well as the MTA #1 bus. You can also take the water taxi (http://www.charmcitycirculator.com/content/harbor-connector) over from Fells Point (landing #8) to landing #10. Note that the water taxi service ends at 7pm, and the Circulator ends at 8pm prior to May 1.

If you cycle to the meetup, feel free to bring your bike inside, or you can lock up on one of the racks just outside the building.
