Introducing the Windows App SDK
The Windows App SDK is a new library of developer tools and components that provide a unified experience in developing Windows apps. It builds on existing frameworks like WPF and WinForms instead of trying to be the next framework.
In this session I will take you through the Windows App SDK, from installation to usage in a new project and how to shoehorn it into an existing project. The session is aimed at people developing Desktop applications for Windows who want to modernize their applications, or start a new application from scratch.
