What is a HOLO event? It’s an online event where you listen to a live presentation and work on lab exercises. As you work on your labs, Microsoft experts can assist and provide guidance by chatting with you one-on-one or by virtually taking control of your lab.
XAML or JavaScript? You choose!
Note: Sometimes, I realize, the learning tools and labs provided to developers are just plain over-complex. Not this time. These labs walk through a simple project step-by-step. Almost everything you need to know in order to build an excellent Windows 8 app is handed to you in bite sized pieces and in a logical order. Don’t miss out.
I am pleased to be one of the presenters and proctors of the Hands On Labs Online (HOLO). But my sessions are just a few of a family that, together, make a suite of learning that is critical to any developers serious about building a Windows 8 application. It’s excellent. It’s free. And, you don’t have to install a single thing!
