New topic for thursday!

In April, Microsoft announced Windows Phone 8.1 and soon after made available as a developer preview. In this talk, we will take a lap around the updated platform and SDK and learn about Universal apps, Geo-fencing, Cortana, triggers, Bluetooth, start screen changes, and more. We will also explore differences between Windows Phone Silverlight apps and Windows Phone Runtime apps as well as Universal apps. There will also be a few handsets which you can use to sample Windows Phone 8.1 for yourself.
