My BUILD selection of sessions for XAML developers
As you know last week was the BUILD event organized by Microsoft in Anaheim (California), an entire show dedicated to Windows 8.
5000 people were there, but Microsoft does not forget everyone else and has made available (for free) all the sessions and keynotes on Channel 9:

To me, the good news if that I’ll be able to reuse my current skills (XAML+C#) to build kick ass touch apps for Windows 8! (Metro style apps)
If you are a XAML developer (Silverlight/WPF), I would recommend watching these sessions:
- Metro style apps using XAML: what you need to know by Joe Stegman
- Metro style apps using XAML: Make your app shine by Marco Matos
- Stand out with styling and animation in your XAML app by John Papa
- Tips and tricks for developing Metro style apps using XAML by Tim Heuer
- Reach all your customer's devices with one beautiful XAML user interface by Tim Heuer
- Build world-ready Metro style apps using XAML by Tim Heuer
- Build accessible Metro style apps using XAML by Alnur Ismail
- Reach a worldwide audience by building a world-ready app by Kipling Knox
This last one is not directly about XAML dev but definitely worth a look :
- 8 traits of great Metro style apps by Jensen Harris
Happy watching!
