Summarizes the shortcuts for beginners to learn about Windows 8 Metro app development.

Step 1. Windows 8 related fields and operating system features
I think this is especially important: first of all, you should be interested in the reason why you want to do Win8. You must use related devices or operating systems instead of reading books. Learn more about the windows Metro UI specifications, you can get started with more things, so you just need to know about it. Windows app store must go, follow the latest or most popular apps, find idea that you are interested in and learn excellent software.

Step 2, demo, sample, or tutorial
After all, I am a beginner. There may be too many basic things to document at once, and some tutorials are better for query.
Note: Do not spend too much time on the demo itself, mainly to compile, configure, debug, etc.

Step 3. Give yourself a small project plan
It is best to be practical. If you are familiar with Windows App Store, or have no limitation on tools or games, the goal should not be too big. The smaller the value, the clearer the better. Completing an actual project in a short period of time is far better than reading books or following tutorials.

Step 4. Test your skills
