VISUG Session Windows 8: Unwrapping the not-so-obvious, slidedeck & code

This week, I delivered a session at Belgium’s Visual Studio User Group (VISUG) on Windows 8 development: a session for developers who are already past the obvious, who’ve seen all the introduction sessions, and who are wondering about how to achieve a few not-so-obvious things for their Windows 8 Store Apps, using XAML/C#.

In this session, I’ve covered topics such as:

• Navigation & complex types
• Manipulating the navigation stack
• Variable Sized Grids
• Exceptions & Async Methods
• Debugging background tasks
• Localhost access
• Incrementally loading data
• Peformance tips and tricks
• … and a few more 🙂

If you weren’t able to attend, or you want to have a look at it for yourself, I’ve just uploaded the slideck & demo code to my Skydrive.  Enjoy! 🙂
