Microsoft Workshop: Getting Started with Creating Windows 8 Apps Using Geospatial Data

Please join us to a half-day workshop, where we will introduce the Windows 8 platform for Metro Style applications and demonstrate how applications can consume and display geospatial data. We will also discuss how you can scale your Windows apps using Microsoft Windows Azure cloud computing and extend the Windows 8 metro experience to our mobile platform. To simulate the application development process, we will use Microsoft Bing Map data for our demo apps.

During the workshop you will learn how to create Windows 8 Metro Style applications using geospatial data. We will provide several Windows 8 slates/tablets/laptops for you to explore and try Windows 8 application development. You can bring your own laptops and use our "Windows To Go" USB drives to try Windows 8 on your computers. (This option only uses your laptop's hardware resources and therefore the operating system and files on your computer will not be changed.)

We will also provide a Q/A session at the end of the workshop where we will explain how you can participate in the Mobile America contest (more detail at http://aka.ms/mobileamerica)

Admissions to the workshop only are free. Sign up today
