Short introduction using XAML with C++. This is a part of my lab I held for my colleauges at Jayway recently. Check out the blog post at http://www.jayway.com/2014/01/20/lab-introduction-on-using-xaml-with-c/
2. Why C++
• 100 percent native and reference-counted
• has the ability to leverage existing
libraries
• supports native Direct3D and Direct2D
surfaces inside Windows Store apps
3. Benefits of C++
• Having low overhead and high
performance
• runs faster
• using fewer instructions to accomplish the
same tasks
• reduces power consumption and gives your
users better battery life
