Task List
![task_list.jpg](/content/images/chap2_9780672336164/elementLinks/task_list.jpg)
In this chapter we’ll create a very simple app based on one of the Visual Studio templates.
Say Hello
![say_hello.jpg](/content/images/chap2_9780672336164/elementLinks/say_hello.jpg)
We’ll start the chapter with a walk-through. You’ll create a complete (albeit very simple) Win8 app based on a Visual Studio template.
Say What?

Of course, you’re not reading this book just to learn how to follow directions, so after saying hello to Win8, we’ll back up a little and examine what we’ve just done. It’s important to understand the process, because you’ll do more or less the same thing for every Win8 app you build.
