I’m also proud to say that I’ll be speaking this year on Windows 8 Development 101: The basics of XAML and ViewModels
The Windows 8 platform will soon allow people to build "Metro style applications" and sell them on the Windows Marketplace.
Join David Burela as he takes anyone who is new to Desktop development through the basics of developing for Windows 8. XAML, Databinding, DataTemplates and ViewModels will all be introduced.
Discover how to separate your UI from your business logic, how to create List Views that display your data richly, plus much more.
The techniques here can be applied to any XAML based application: WinRT, WP7, WPF, SL5.
