Question

Are there any microsoft frameworks+tutorials on how to create a website that is conform to their Metro UI principals?

I can find all kinds of frameworks/toolkits CSS/LESS based, but nothing backed up by microsoft. I assume microsoft would benefit from providing a toolkit so that more and more website “look like their windows 8”.

I have a webapplication on MVC4 (+html5+css3). Should I place my bets on some opensource toolkit (which seems to lack decent documentation/example code) or will microsoft throw something fancy our way?

I also checked NuGet stuff but there seems nothing (yet).

many thanks!

I agree, the Microsoft resources are not easy to find or very well organized. This is the best official resource I have bookmarked:

It’s sort of a ‘table of contents’ for deeper information like:
