"Good intro even on new builds of Win 8" - by GeoffreyK on 04-JUN-2012
Reviewer Rating:
Just read this book, and while it is basic it definitely gives good footing into WinJS. I have very little JavaScript knowledge, but was able to following along without much issue. I was also able to get code from book site working with little changes with Windows 8 Release Preview and VS2012 RC.
