C# Part 4: File access and pickers

This is the first of five videos that walks you through building your first Windows Store app with Visual Basic. In this video, we'll build a simple Hello world using XAML and Visual Basic.
[01:43] Before you start
[02:23] Step 1: Create a new project in Visual Studio
[06:14] Step 2: Start the app
[07:27] Step 3: Modify your start page
[14:56] Step 4: Create an event Handler
[17:25] Step 5: Style the start page
The creation of a Hello World application is a little meaningless. The people on Channel 9 tend to be experienced developers so an application that makes full use of data access and implements the Async / Await pattern would be more useful.
Thank you guys for this video !! i'm new to Visual Basic !! and this is a great start for me !!

Hey Phil, this is a step-by-step series for beginners. That said, by Part 4, File Access and Pickers, you will learn how to call async/await for file IO and how to databind to properties of a file.
Phil,
Everyone has to start somewhere. Shouldn't Microsoft be one of the key places that beginners can find out how to get started? After all this is their product.
I certainly have some students who will find this series useful.
fucka u bic
