All aboard the Metro UI

If you aren’t aware of Metro now then you soon will be, and so will your users.  Microsoft’s new design language debuted to the mass market this year on the Windows Phone 7 and is soon to be joined by the Xbox and the next version of the Windows operating system.
Find out what all the fuss is about and how to make best use of it to ensure you stay ahead of the huge, worldwide opportunities that will become available over the next couple of years.  In this session we will deep dive into the interface and interactions of Metro on the phone, games console, tablet and PC and learn how to use it to create the best experiences for your users.
