Great post by Bruno Terkaly on What Windows 8 Developers Should Know About The Cloud.
- Client-side developers do need to embrace the cloud. The increasing popularity of connected devices like tablet computers and smartphones is having a direct effect on the adoption rate of personal cloud services. You can expect both connected devices and cloud services to grow together.

As mentioned on twitter by Todd Brix, general manager of the Windows Phone Apps and Store team at Microsoft:
‘Summer break’ promo ends today, but great news – we’re keeping the price at $19. Join Dev Center and publish those apps.
This is great news for anyone who hasn’t already jumped in to the Windows Phone development.
