Windows Code Samples
Here&#x27;s the problem: As a developer Electron (see <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;electron.atom.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;electron.atom.io&#x2F;</a> ) is more attractive to me than Windows APIs. Take a look at the RSS Reader ( <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Microsoft&#x2F;Windows-appsample-rssreader" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Microsoft&#x2F;Windows-appsample-rssreader</a> ). I can make a desktop app that is practically indistinguishable from this app using Electron, so why would I use Windows APIs? If I use Electron then my app will run on Mac and Linux, not just Windows, and my skills will be portable too.<p>The Flat UI of Windows is a mistake. Because of Flat UI, there is no differentiation between Web apps and native Windows apps, which makes it possible--and even desirable--to make desktop apps using Web technologies.
