This week I was “on tour” in Belgium and Netherlands and presented 3 times:
“MVVM Applied, From Silverlight to Windows Phone to Windows 8” [...]
The goal of this session was to make people feel confident that the skills they acquired working in various XAML frameworks (Silverlight, Windows Phone, WPF, Surface, etc) are going to help them tremendously when developing Windows 8 applications. It was a session packed with code, where we went from a Silverlight 5 application, added design time experience, reworked the design in Expression Blend, then created an application reusing most of the code in Windows Phone (including design time experience in Blend), and then created a WinRT application which, again, reused most of the code (including design time experience in the Visual Studio Designer). Of course the sample code uses the MVVM Light Toolkit in order to make the coding easier, and to maximize code reuse.
