Atley digs into how developers can build applications that run on Windows 8 and Windows Phone at once. The core technology is the Portable Class Library project. The conversation digs into the range of Microsoft platforms supported by the Portable Class Library, including XBox 360 and Silverlight! Atley also talks about his experiences around the success of phone apps vs tablet, different user experience approaches and why Visual Studio 2012 rocks!

The conversation ranges over the hardware available for Windows 8, what is compelling and what is not. The panel also digs into consumer vs corporate applications, how difficult side loading is (hopefully Blue fixes it) and some of the programs Microsoft is supporting to increase Win 8 adoption.

But first, the boys have some fun talking about garbage collection, Windows 8 development options and TypeScript. Then the conversation goes deep into WinJS - does building 'native' HTML apps in Windows 8 make sense? Should the app look like a web app or a Metro app? Chris takes on all these questions and more!

The conversation starts out talking about some of the APIs that Chris is building to simplify mobile development - check the show links for a look at them. Chris then talks about the decision to get a Surface Pro, comparing it to other laptops and ultrabooks and how it's changed the way he does computing.

Todd starts out the conversation with the state of mobile today - a diverse set of form factors, operating systems and development environments. HTML is the only thing that works across them all, but it's not a write-once-run-everywhere solution, you have to work at it! Todd talks about the advantages and disadvantages of responsive web design, as opposed to creating separate solutions for different form factors. The discussion also digs into KendoUI, an HTML product that Todd works on at Telerik.

Aaron is part of the Web Standards Project and so the conversation starts off about it's role in the maintenance of web standards - resisting the fragmentation of features in various browsers. From there, Aaron digs into adaptive web design through progressive enhancement. What does it take to retrofit a legacy web page into more current techniques? Aaron talks about a variety of strategies to help you get a great mobile web experience. Also listen for comparisons of native, hybrid and web-based mobile applications!

Ben talks about getting seriously into the 'metro' design principles and how after some initial consternation, his customers come to love the UX experience in Windows 8 and Phone 8. Besides those designs, iOS and Android 'look like Window 3.11.' The conversation digs into the preferred toolstack for building apps and where the ugly bits lie.

Josh discusses his experiences building mobile applications on iOS, Android and Windows Phone and how it's influenced the design of Azure Mobile Services. The conversation explores the various aspects of Mobile Services including data storage, user authentication, push notifications and other tools and services. Josh talks about how the team ships updates every week and that the products are entirely user driven - all the features are discussed on the User Voice site.

AppMobi comes from the same code base as PhoneGap, but with a different focus. The conversation starts out with a break down of the appMobi SDK which covers the cross-platform and plug-in capabilities and the cloud services SDK. Only a week before the recording, Intel acquired the cross-platform SDK, appMobi continues to run the cloud services. If you want to build cross-platform mobile applications with HTML 5, you need to take a look at appMobi!

The conversation starts out with Toni talking about an app he built for the Swiss government to engage teenagers - using a game to educate them about bullying and sexual harassment. Toni talks about how much more effective a game model is over standard brochure-ware applications. From there he digs into the general psychology around gamification, what works and what doesn't.

The first bit of big news - a free version of MonoTouch and Mono for Android! But wait, there's more - besides a full update of MonoDevelop, Xamarin has also completed integration of MonoTouch and Mono for Android into Visual Studio.

The conversation starts out with a broader discussion around all of the different tablets in the enterprise, the challenge of managing them as well as developing for them. Rocky then digs into the deployment story for Windows 8 Store applications - including putting your apps into the store as well as side loading. Side loading is where things get complicated, as Rocky describes it, it depends on what version of Windows 8 you're using, and what licensing agreements your organization has with Microsoft as to what the costs and configurations are for deploying apps. Rocky has done the hard research here!

Stuart digs into why MVVMCross exists and its ability to simplify building applications across iOS, Android and Windows. He also describes the key role of the Xamarin products of MonoTouch and Mono for Android play, as well as how MVVMCross works with XAML on the Windows side of the fence.

Rey talks about the ubiquity of jQuery and how other libraries could have been as dominant, but for whatever reason are not. The conversation also digs into the movement against plug-ins, and whether or not plug-in free is really practical. Rey also discusses the challenges of anti-IE web sites, and how you can change your user agent to discover that many webKit only sites work just fine in IE10.

The conversation starts out with Wally's original interest in the Mono tools, being able to leverage his code and skills in C# for mobile development. From there Wally drills into the challenges of tooling across platforms (testing frameworks, etc) as well as dealing with fragmentation of operating systems and SDKs - a bigger issue in Android than iOS, but still an issue.
