Create a Windows 8 App in Minutes - Frank La Vigne

What if I told you that you could turn any web site into an app? What if I told you that you could do just that in minutes by creating two XML files? Sounds crazy? Well, it might be crazy -- crazy fast. In this demo, I will show you how I made the "AppCannon" utility which takes two XML files and my Screen Scraper toolkit to make a Windows 8 App Generator.
