Building Awesome Apps for Windows 7: Overview
Dec 03, 2010 at 9:12 AMMr Crash: I would recommend that you check out Project Hilo. There's a video of it on Channel 9 here. Kenny Kerr has kicked off a new blog series entitled, "The new C++ for the new Windows". (Also worth checking out.) Finally, there's a mountain of videos available on Channel 9 that cover topics related to C++. If none of these resources meet your needs, shoot me a message (via my profile).
