Building Windows Store Apps Essential Training

- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Walt Ritscher and I wanna welcome you to my Building Windows Store Apps Essential Training series. The apps that I'll be building during the course are intended to run on the new modern runtime known as WinRT. I'll start the series with an overview of this new system and show how to test your apps on actual and virtualized ARM hardware. Next I'll take a look at how to use visual studio and expression blend to create and edit your applications. I'll cover layout panels, controls and I talk about how to add images and media to your app.

I'll have a section on working with the application lifecycle and another on data and data binding. I'll cover application-wide topics like live tiles, charms and application contracts. Then I'll wrap up by showing you some interesting topics like working with the camera, the accelerometer and other installed devices. I can't wait to get started, let's go.
