• Parallel Programming in Windows 8 Metro Applications

  by Michael Slade

  Windows 8 will bring a new style of Windows applications: Metro. Metro style applications bring a new set of issues in writing applications that take full advantage of our computers. When do I use the new Async capabilities of .Net 4.5, and when do I use the Task Parallel Library? What happens when Windows 8 suspends my application when switching to another Metro application? Come learn the answers to these questions and others as we explore parallel programming in Metro applications.
