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++.
Join the Microsoft Visual C++ and Windows teams in Redmond for this all-day Windows camp focused on building Windows 8 Metro style apps with Visual 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).

If you are a new C++ developer wanting to learn about the writing Metro style apps, an intermediate developer looking to reuse their C++ code and skills, or an experienced C++ developer looking to squeeze every ounce of performance out of your Metro style app, this event is for you. We will have pragmatic advice for every developer writing Metro style apps and games with XAML or DirectX and C++
