In many of my applications, the UI and API gravitate towards task-oriented UIs. Instead of “editing an invoice”, I “approve an invoice”, with specialized models, behaviors and screens just for accomplishing that task.

Much has been made of the open-source approach to developing the latest version of the .NET framework and tools. What does that mean for me and my organization? Can I really use these tools without some licensing gotcha? We'll review the licensing details in terms so that mere mortals can understand them. We'll then turn it around and show you how you can get involved with .NET by contributing to an existing project or even starting your own. Microsoft's Maria Naggaga and Jeff Fritz will break down everything you need to know to use and contribute to the new .NET ecosystem.by bill-s, 2016-06-18T07:37:31.000Z

Today, we will follow up with a walkthrough of a concrete coding example that takes an existing desktop app and gradually migrates and enhances it with the Desktop Bridge into a full Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app that can run on all Windows 10 devices—such as Xbox One, HoloLens, phones, et cetera—and take full advantage of the platform.by bill-s, 2016-06-17T17:13:37.000Z
