Windows Story
This means that we are now able to say that you write your app once and deploy it across all Windows devices.
Desktop Apps
Tablet Apps
Phone Apps
Games, LOB Apps, Professional Apps
Developers can now get the benefit of building an app so it can be deployed on all Windows device form factors.
But there’s more! That same code can now be used for Android and iOS – less friction, more apps.
It’s a mobile first / cloud first world
The number of smart devices connected to the internet passed the number of people on the planet in 2008. This will only keep growing at a faster rate.
Cheap storage and easy access to computing power has shifted developer interest to the cloud.
Lots of interesting new possibilities but also some pain points for devs and businesses:
How do I reach people across a multitude of devices?
Does doing so mean learning new skills? If so, at what cost?
How do I stand out in a sea of apps? How can I reach more platforms more easily?
Over 2 billion PCs, 5B phones and 7B people. Expecting 50 billion devices by 2020 and 10 trillion items with smart technology in them. In 2008 the number of connected devices surpassed people.
