This is a recording from an MSDN Live Meeting broadcast from the Microsoft Belgium office on April 24, 2012. Abstract
You have looked into building Windows 8 Metro Style Applications. But now comes the step of building a great app that integrates with Windows 8 experiences and that has great user interaction. How do you make your app preferred by users? How do you give confidence to users? <div class="ExternalClass471960C72A3F4B7990EAE4DC09C3433E In this session we look at the Metro style guidelines, how to adopt the Metro Design Principles and some examples of going from meh to great! This session focuses on the User Interaction and Experience, so expect little code but lots of input on how to make your app great, whether you are a designer or a developer.
