Building Windows 8 Metro Style Apps with C++ - A Free Event [Sold Out. Will Stream Live!]
Description
Join the Microsoft Visual C++ and Windows teams in Redmond on May 18, 2012 for a free, all-day event focused on building Windows 8 Metro style apps with C++.
These Windows-specific talks will use both portable ISO C++ and Visual C++-specific compiler extensions; for brevity below we'll refer to both as "C++" (i.e., this day is about Visual C++, not Visual C# or JavaScript).
We will have pragmatic advice for every developer writing Metro style apps and games with XAML and/or DirectX and C++.
This event is sold out. However, it will stream live right here on Channel 9! Tune in on May 18, 2012, 8:00AM PDT.
Agenda:
- VC++ for Windows 8, Keynote by Herb Sutter
- Building Windows 8 apps with XAML and C++
- Building Windows 8 games with DirectX and C++
- Introduction to the Windows Runtime Library (WRL)
- Writing Connected apps: Writing networking code with C++
- Combining XAML & DirectX in a Metro style apps
- Writing WinRT components to be consumed from any language
- VC11 compiler flags for getting the most out of C++
All sessions will be recorded and available for on demand viewing on C9.

Larry Seltzer Do native code Metro apps have to be available in ARM, x86 and x64?

Hi,
All of the sessions from the event will be recorded and will air on C9 after the fact. We are not sure if this will stream live, however.C

Charles @Larry Seltzer: Native apps have to be compiled to target the underlying machine architectures, yes. Is that your question? ( So, if you want a native app to run on ARM, then you need to compile for ARM. WinRT doesn't solve that problem automagically...

freefly @Charles : Thanks for making it available online.

Chris Very nice, looking forward to see the recordings.
Is holding this event a recent decision? I'm asking because in a recent vcblog post a lot of people expressed that they currently don't care much about Metro. I'm wondering if this event is being held because of that. -
SlavoFurman @Charles:I think he asked - in case I like to upload my native C++ app to store, then I have to make it available (i.e. compile it) for all x86, x64 and ARM platforms?
