So you learned Silverlight and WPF, but now Metro is the scene. Fear not! Those XAML and C# skills are extremely useful. Let Greg walk you through some of the changes when moving to Metro/XAML. Come see what additional considerations are needed for creating a Metro application. You know you're curious to see if you can hit the ground running, so come see if that is indeed the case!

You will learn:

• If your previous skills will pay off.
• What additional considerations need to be handled for Metro applications
