    Windows 8/WinRT

    Adoption of Windows 8 and the Windows Runtime (WinRT) is underway, and use of Windows Phone 8 and its version of the Windows Runtime (WinPRT) is on the upswing. Are you ready to build apps for the new WinRT and WinPRT platforms? Modern Windows apps take advantage of key Windows 8 features such as Live Tiles, the Charms bar, and push notifications. They are almost certainly integrated with cloud and social services, providing users with experiences that were previously prohibitively difficult to implement. Perhaps more important, these apps run on phones, tablets, ultrabooks, laptops, and desktops so they are available to users almost everywhere. Apps for WinRT can be written with HTML and JavaScript, or XAML and C#/VB .NET, among other options. At Visual Studio Live! Las Vegas, you’ll learn to build modern Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 apps, and understand the finer points of WinRT and related cloud services that will make them great.

    • Microsoft Design Language and Windows 8 app design
