With Windows 8 Microsoft has re-imagined the user experience for
both tablet and desktop computers. In the Modern UI (formerly known
as “Metro”) users will experience a whole new way to use
applications. These applications will be multi-touch enabled and
very engaging. They have also rebuilt their development platform
and ecosystem. Developing Windows 8 Apps LiveLessons provides over
8 hours of video training on developing Windows 8 Apps with XAML
and C#. These lessons are focused on writing code and generating
small workable applications.
