There is a lengthy submission process, to have an App you design, added to the official Microsoft Store. As a developer, this process will kill your enthusiasm. Maybe you can design a Universal App that runs outside the Store, but getting it submitted and approved for inside the Store, is another matter. You can download Visual Studio Community Edition DVD, if you need a platform for development. Apps are designed with stuff like Javascript. Regular applications might be C++ or C#. So you might even have different programming languages, depending on the intended target. Microsoft forced developers to shred what they already know, and invest in learning new stuff, just to keep up. Paul |

What about this site:

I had to find a small site with information on it. http://www.i-programmer.info/news/17...rsal-apps.html "App Studio now generates C# code that you can load into Visual Studio as the basis for your app. The big problem is that this particular app generator is very restricted in what you can generate." "it seems very limited" And this is where unusable garbage comes from in the Windows Store. At some point, you will need to use a procedural programming language (C#) to add "meat" to the App. If you need to work out a Bessel function or a Fast Fourier Transform, you don't get that by "moving around Facebook icons". You have to write code. At some point, real computer programs, require real code. Not icons and fluff. Once you get in Visual Studio, then you'll be very sorry. Doing "Hello World" is an all day job, after you install Visual Studio. (It's easier to do "Hello World", if you have a web site with a step by step recipe for creating a project, setting the output to debug or release, and so on.) I think I actually managed to do Hello World in Visual Studio. Once. Part of the problem, is Visual Studio Express/Community is not bug free. And some of the problems, just never get fixed. Leaving the user to find long discussion threads, many of which contain the wrong answers (from beginner programmers). So many people participate in the repair threads, it's hard to tell what the correct answer is. So if you think flipping around a few Facebook icons in a blank canvas makes you a programmer, welcome to the Microsoft App Store! :-) Paul |

Real software costs can be very high, sometimes you can't even buy them.
These modern apps at least are suitable for small budgets. Not everyone feels like going for business. There is a lot of home users who need Windows just to collect information about movies and songs and other stuff we may access. "Paul" escreveu na mensagem ...
