Abstract:
Windows 8 applications developed in HTML and JavaScript share functionality with web sites including hyperlinking. But sometimes hyperlinking is not powerful enough for modern applications. Learn to use the navigation pattern in Windows 8 to take control of the user’s navigation path, navigate back or forward, and persist their state no matter where they go.

Next Steps:
Step #1 – Download Windows 8 Release Preview and Windows 8 SDK
Step #2 – Download Visual Studio Express for Windows 8
Step #3 – Start building your own Apps for Windows 8
