Yesterday I did a talk at CNUG about Windows 8. I talked about 10 things every .NET developer should know about Windows 8.
So what are the 10 things every .NET developer should know about Windows 8 – if you got 90 minutes to present them? I choose these 10 topics:
- Design does matter
- Snap and Scale Beautifully
- Presenting Data
- DataTemplateSelector
- Async is Great
- Use the right Contracts
- Invest in a Great Tile
- Connected and Alive
- Take care of Process Lifetime
- Notice the Fine Print
Some of the topics are quite large – how can you talk about presenting data or async in less then 10 minutes?! Seriously!! Well I hope the participants got a good glimpse at some of the cool features available in Windows 8 and that some of them enjoy their really cool Bluefragments Windows 8 t-shirt :)
You can get my slides and my demo from my SkyDrive http://sdrv.ms/PE4pqm.
