We presented the Windows 8 for Developers Online Camp on May 21st. You can still view this online event at:

Event Overview:
Windows 8 is here. Even if you don’t plan to build Windows 8 applications immediately, you should learn what it takes to build Windows 8 applications. You’ll see how Windows 8 development relates to existing development from those using Microsoft or competing technologies. You’ll learn what is needed to start building, what it takes to distribute applications, and how money can be made. If you are already a developer that knows how to code in Java, C#, Objective-C, Visual Basic, or another lower-level language, then this online camp is for you.
