JavaScript Meetup October

Gergely Orosz (Skype): Hello WinJS - Building Skype using Javascript

Javascript is steadily gaining popularity among Windows developers, as - together with C# - it is the main language for Windows 8 development. Most of the preinstalled apps like email, music and Skype are all written in JS, making heavy use of the WinJS framework. In this talk we'll do a quick overview of WinJS and see how it compares to some of the popular Javascript frameworks. We'll also cover lessons learned when developing Skype for Windows 8 using this library.
