Today I attended a Windows 8 App Excellence Lab in the Microsoft office in Unterschleißheim near Munich (Germany).

It was very interesting to talk with a Microsoft developer about the requirements that needs to be met for a Metro style app in the Windows 8 app store. There are very high standards especially regarding the look & feel of the application.

At the moment I especially want to get a HTML5-based vocabulary trainer ready for Windows 8. As a result of this App Excellence Lab I got a token that I can use to register at the Windows 8 app store before the official start. Additionally registration is free with this token for two years.

Did you attend to a Windows 8 App Excellence Lab, too?
