Let me start by saying three words. “CRASH AND BURN”.  Well, I guess that makes it sound much worse than it really was, however I have to say that I don’t enjoy when create a brand new project, press “Run” and it crashes with a funky license error.  Especially when I’ve come from out of town as an INETA speaker to talk about developing in Windows 8 with HTML5 / CSS3 and JavaScript to the Central California .Net Users Group.  People have high expectations!  I had done about 10 practice run through on the AmTrak train on the way to Fresno and no time did I have an issue.  First time in the actual meeting and the demo gods struck!  Here is the screen I was greeted with:

Or, for the jpg-challenged:

Error    2    0xC0020012 : While preparing to install the b5d701c0-28f8-415e-a986-ebae057cc7c5_1.0.0.0_neutral__tp1tpcm9wdwpy package, the system failed to register the windows.licensing extension due to the following error: <Error message string not found>.    Application5

I still don’t know what caused this, but I’m sure I’ll find out.  This is my third time doing this presentation and usually that means there will be a fourth.   For those that don’t know what I did, basically, I built a Silicon Valley Code Camp Speaker Viewer.  Below is a picture of that running on my Samsung Build Tablet as well as my introduction to the session PowerPoint slide.

Let’s home next time goes smoother.

For those that are interested, here is my PowerPoint slides and my Visual Studio 2011 Metro HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript Project.

Event Description

Do you want to know what it would be like to build your first Windows 8 Metro App in HTML5/CSS3 with the BUILD bits distributed by Microsoft last year? Having just submitted an app to the windows 8 app store contest, I (Peter Kellner) will give you a guided tour of the steps I went through. This includes running the preview of Blend (HTML5 only), Visual Studio 2011 Preview, all the sample code Microsoft provides as well as the documentation you will run into if you try to do the same thing. Windows 8 Metro programming is going to be too big for any of us to ignore. If you want to get a jump start on this new way of programming windows programming, come to the presentation and hopefully, save yourself many hours of newby mistakes (like I made). Hope to see you there!
