For the last six months or so I have been deeply immersed in a combination of iOS and HTML5 development. Now I don't want my C#/XAML skills to get too rusty, so over the weekend I decided to write a simple Windows 8 Store App.

A couple of days ago we hosted a one-day conference, HTML5 - It Just Got Real, at the Royal Society buildings in London. As promised, we have made all of our presentations available online.

Documents the experience of porting a gesture-driven Windows Phone to-do app to Windows 8, covering both the challenges and new platform opportunities such as live tiles, search contracts, and snapped view. It provides an honest, detailed account of the transition for developers familiar with Windows Phone.

A run-tracking app for Windows Phone 8 built in just 100 lines of code, showcasing the new map control, background location tracking, 3D pitch/heading, and live tiles. It demonstrates how much can be achieved within tight code constraints using the WP8 SDK.

This article looks at how you can write a cross-platform mobile application with a shared C# code base using Xamarin MonoTouch.

Re-implements the same Property Finder application using Xamarin MonoTouch to share a C# codebase between Windows Phone and iOS while delivering fully native UIs on both platforms. Compared to the earlier HTML5 approach, the Xamarin version achieves similar code sharing with a no-compromises, native user experience.
