if you’ve been tracking with us in the Windows Store App Development Skill Builder series, you know we’re giving you some online training that is focused on helping you build a Windows Store Application, maybe for the first time. If you missed the Beginner or Intermediate Series, be sure to spend some time on those topics.
Today, I’m pleased to share with you the Advanced Series. This is brought to you through the hard work of many people who are passionate about apps. The topics and presentations in the Advanced videos are some of the best yet.
In just a few weeks we’ll post the Expert level videos and conclude this series. If you have ideas or feedback for other video topics you’d like us to cover, send us your feedback PartnerDevFeedback@microsoft.com. And don’t forget, if you are building an app and need some help, we have Partner Consultants available as a part of your MPN Benefits, just call us at 1-800-MPN-Solve
