The document discusses several upcoming sessions at a conference on Windows 8 development: 1. A session on using background tasks in Windows 8 apps will introduce the background processing API and provide examples of how apps can execute code in the background when suspended. 2. Another session will compare building the same Windows Store app using C# and JavaScript through a live coding demonstration, highlighting similarities and differences between the two languages. 3. Additional sessions will cover topics like building cross-platform mobile solutions, performance optimization for Windows 8 apps using Visual C++, and practical application of the Microsoft Design Language principles.

- 5. SESSION: Design Putting the Microsoft Design Language to work Laurent Bugnion Mar 6 – 14:30-15:45 Room 6 The new Microsoft Design Language (formerly known as Metro) has taken the tech world by surprise. It brings a refreshing change from hyper realistic design, and offers a welcomed alternative to the other mobile platforms. From Zune and then Windows Phone, the Microsoft Design Language is now used on a number of platforms and devices, notably on Windows 8 apps. In this session, we will see how we can practically convert the five design principles and put them to work, by studying real life applications and understanding how they were applied.

SESSIONS: Cross-Platform Decisions Building SPA’s (Single Page App) Building Cross Platform Mobile with Backbone.js Solutions (Sponsor Session) Richard Griffin Gitte Vermeiren Mar 7 – 14:30-15:45 Mar 7 – 10:45-12:00 Room 6 Room 2 The aim of the session will be to provide an overview of Backbonejs Mobile is hot, but developers wanting to target as many platforms as and how you can build a SPA using this JavaScript framework that is possible often need to rewrite entire code bases. A lot can be gaining popularity. Using the code base from the x-Device, x- achieved by utilizing HTML5 and JavaScript solutions like Platform SPA we will port to WinJS and discussing the changes to PhoneGap, but this way of working is inherently slower than using the code that need to be made in order to support the design and native code. Also, developers prefer sticking to their favorite experience differences that are required to turn your SPA into a language. For .NET developers, we also have the option of using Windows 8 store app. And of course this all works in Expression MonoDroid or MonoTouch, using your own language with the power Blend of developing for a native platform. In this session we will build a cross platform mobile solution from the ground up. Giving you tips and tricks to get the highest form of reuse.
