Preparing for 70-485: Advanced Metro style App Development using C#

A few weeks ago I posted learning material for preparing for exam 70-484. In the meanwhile I also took the 70-485: Advanced Metro style App Development using C# exam and used the information below for my preparation. As the exam was still in beta I don’t know yet whether I passed the exam, but I doubt it. You really need to make sure you’ve got hands-on experience with each of the topics.
