Learn the 8 keys to a successful Windows 8 application

This was talk by Daniel Egan at the Dallas Day of Dot Net convention. The talk centered around the suggestion that it is a great time to jump into building apps for Windows 8 in contrast to the more saturated market of apps for iOS. The most interesting thing he mentioned was charms. This is a bar that will appear from the right and offers globally available commands for specific apps. There is always a Settings charm for an app for example, or at least there should be. Just as we are used to apps having a File dropdown menu in Windows 7 we should get used to having a Settings charm.
