A team of developers from dotNet Miami recently participated in the Windows 8 Hackation. The output of the event was a Windows 8 dotNet Miami event application. We'll relive our experiences from the Hackathon, review the application and code. We'll also show the server app which consists of Nancy and RavenDB (a NoSQL database). Come with your questions and your curiosity as we review this application full of new technology.
