Microsoft Project Siena (code name) is the beta release of a new technology for business experts, business analysts, consultants. Without any programming, you can create powerful Windows 8 apps, with the potential to transform today’s business processes. Combined with SharePoint, Project Siena is even more powerful! You can unleash your SharePoint data from the boring List Views and show it off in an app, all without writing any code. This session will introduce you to Project Siena and show you how to use it with SharePoint data by building on-the-fly some Windows 8 apps. No coding skills required! I will even show you how to save changes made to your SharePoint list back to SharePoint.
