One of the many new advances in Windows 8 is the ability to create Windows applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. In this session, we'll take a look at the Windows 8 technology stack on which these applications run, how HTML/CSS/JS apps actually run, and discuss the implications of the different ways to utilize third party libraries such as jQuery. We'll then migrate an MVC application which utilizes jQuery into a Metro-style application. By the end of this session, you'll have a solid idea of what it means to have a Metro-style application built with web technologies.

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.

So Windows 8 is just cool! Add NFC to that and we have a super cool experience. We will create a simple metro app with Windows 8 , add ability to use NFC to communicate with another Windows 8 machine and create a multi player game. You will see how easy it is to use NFC in Windows 8 and write your own application.
