With Windows 8, Microsoft has opened up the platform a bit, and you can now write Windows apps using HTML5/JavaScript. I'll demonstrate how to do this and dive into some code. We'll also discuss the Metro design style. Finally, we'll talk about the new Windows Store, which allows developers to make their apps available to the enormous numbers of people who use Windows; this gives developers the potential to easily make crazy money. This will not be a sales pitch for Windows 8; it's a tech talk for developers. But anyone who has a little HTML experience should be able to get something out of this talk.
