Win 8 Apps Development with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript + a boot camp

Windows 8 has sold over 60 million licenses, and with over 670 million upgradable Windows 7 licenses, this is the biggest development opportunity - ever - for application developers. With Visual Studio 2012 you can build immersive, modern user applications and games using a variety of languages and frameworks, including HTML 5, JavaScript and CSS. In this session we'll kick off the NHTI Boot Camp series with a soup-to-nuts overview of the platform capabilities, application development tooling, and Windows Store certification and monetization.

Speaker: Jim O'Neil, Jim is one of our Microsoft northeast technology gurus.
