I recently sat down to record a series of screencasts that introduces Windows 8 to developers. The goal is to give developers a high level understanding of Windows 8 so they can have some initial familiarity with the platform without feeling like they have to commit to a technology deep-dive. Each video is short (under five minutes) and to the point. Over the next several days I’ll be introducing them to you here on the blog. The third video is about hardware. In this episode I talk about how you can integrate your Windows 8 Metro style apps with device hardware. Click the picture below to start watching and enjoy!
