Microsoft renews developer push for its Universal Windows Platform

During its online Windows Developer Day event today, Microsoft tried to get developers excited about building apps and games for its Universal Windows Platform (UWP). The next big release is the Windows 10 Creators Update, coming in “early 2017,” and the Software Development Kit (SDK) for that update is now feature-complete.

Microsoft’s UWP allows developers to build a single app that changes based on your device and screen size. One app can work on your Windows 10 computer, Windows 10 tablet, Windows 10 Mobile smartphone, Windows 10 VR headset, Xbox One console, Internet of Things device, and eventually HoloLens.
