Windows Code Samples
Here's the problem: As a developer Electron (see <a href="http://electron.atom.io/" rel="nofollow">http://electron.atom.io/</a> ) is more attractive to me than Windows APIs. Take a look at the RSS Reader ( <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-appsample-rssreader" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Microsoft/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.
