Detroit Area Fox User Group (DAFUG) presents:
1) "Windows 8" - by Jennifer Marsman of Microsoft
Windows 8 is a game-changer. Join this session to learn about the new platform for building Metro-style applications. Get an understanding of the platform design tenets, the programming language choices, and the integration points with the operating system and across Metro style apps. We will dive into code, showing the new features that you will need to learn, like snapping, contracts and charms, appbars, and tiles. You will walk away with the fundamentals for building a Windows 8 application using HTML5 or XAML. Finally, we will conclude with info on the new Windows Store, which gives you an easy way to sell your apps to an incredibly large global market, and some tips & tricks for getting rich with the Windows Store.
2) Anything else people want to talk about.
Are you interested in presenting to DAFUG? Show off something cool in software development you believe your peers might be interested in hearing about? We are always looking for volunteers and topics.
Hope to see you at:
