The event is open to all experienced software developers with knowledge of object-oriented design. Familiarity with C# or XAML is helpful. The great news is, no prior experience with developing Windows Phone 8 apps is required.
‘ Is this a good opportunity for me?’
If you’re an app developer willing to design and build Windows Phone 8.1 apps using XAML and C#, then YES. The two-and-a-half day, demo-rich course, taught by experts who have years of experience developing (and writing about the process), focuses on how to create apps for Windows Phone 8.1 in Visual Studio and how to create universal app projects that share a high percentage of code and that target both Windows and Windows Phone.
The course will bring you tips and tricks on maximizing your app compatibility and optimizing your code. Find out about new features, and learn how to program the many new Windows Runtime APIs that are available to both Windows Store apps and to Windows Silverlight apps. You can even get code samples.
