BUILD 2012 scheduled for after the Windows 8 launch

[Mikerman]

Right now, Microsoft is hosting 1-2 day working conferences dedicated to devs. and application development for Win 8/Metro. The first day is spent, it appears, in a more lecture/demonstration format, ending the first day with a PC readying session, installing the Metro preview and app. development tools on the laptops of those attending; the second day is spent in app. development. These are being held throughout the U.S. and, if I recall correctly, outside the U.S. as well, and are free.
