Wow, This can be very resourceful. I need to learn how to develop the newer set of products from Microsoft.

Nice find , I think there will be some reliable information, I am interested in the Windows 8 and Windows Phone e-books... currently I am in a restaurant, Free Wi-Fi FTW

Thanks for the book!
Especailly I like "Programming Windows 8 Apps with HTML, CSS and JavaScript".
This would be helpful for anyone who wants to make Metro Apps. Quite good for beginners like me.

Don't presume that I know anything about what those books are talking about either. I'm a total beginner and I'm glad that I helped others like me
