Topic: Windows 8

Pete talks about Windows 8 development from a XAML and .NET developer’s point of view. We’ll cover what you need to know to build successful high-quality Windows Store apps above and beyond the basics: performance, ARM considerations, remote debugging, contracts, common reasons behind Windows Store submission failures, and how to share code with your desktop apps. Bring your questions!

Presenter: Pete Brown

Pete Brown is a Windows Platform Evangelist, XAML and Gadget guy at Microsoft. He's a father of two, and husband to one. When not trying to blow stuff up, or electrocute himself (or talk about himself in the third-person) Pete focuses on the community around code that has nothing to do with a browser (Windows 8, WPF, Silverlight, .NET Micro Framework, Robotics, and more), with a particular focus on XAML and things that blink in the night. Pete is the author of the best-selling Silverlight 4 in Action, and of the new Silverlight 5 in Action, both published by Manning, and Windows 8 XAML in Action, currently in development with Manning. It will be amazing, and your purchase will help him afford replacements for the stuff he has blown up in the course of research.
