Windows 8 with Metro-style applications offers one of the biggest opportunities for developers in a very long time. As a Windows Phone developer, you are uniquely positioned to be able to get in on the ground floor of this exciting new platform.

Microsoft has already provided some great resources that you may want to look to learn how you can move your Windows Phone applications to the Windows 8 platform:

Migrating WP7 to Window 8

Metro UX style, design and principles

Creating your first Metro app with C#/XAML

Samples and SDK

Because of your interest in Windows Phone 7 you are also asked to please join us for a special, invitation-only Windows 8 event created specifically for Windows Phone developers – Windows Phone to Windows 8 Workshop. Because of your interest in Windows Phone 7, and your past attendance at a Windows Phone Boot Camp, Microsoft would like to extend to you a unique opportunity to get ready for Windows 8.

These FREE half-day workshops will provide you an overview getting from Windows Phone to Windows 8. Leveraging your XAML and .NET skills, these workshops will introduce the fundamentals of developing Windows 8 Metro-style applications, tips for migrating your Windows Phone applications, and guidance on Metro UX. Technical experts will be on hand to address your questions, discuss your existing Windows Phone applications, and help get you started on developing your applications on Windows 8 and getting them into the Windows Store.

To participate in a workshop, all you need to do is pick one of the two dates and attend the online seminar. Each workshop is the same, so you only need to attend one workshop. Each meeting has limited online capacity, so join on time.
