Windows App Starter Kits


With unprecedented reach across a range of devices and availability in over 200 markets, there’s never been a better time to build for Windows and Windows Phone. These App Starter Kits for Windows and Windows Phone show you how to use public Web Service APIs such as Twitter, Foursqaure, Instagram, Tumblr, Meetup, Yelp and many more to create compelling Windows Apps.

The starter kits will provide you a scenario, an app concept and a rich data set so you can more quickly develop any type of app and in a language of your choice, HTML5/JS or XAML/C#. Each kit calls an API, deserializes the JSON/XML payload, copies the results in a View Model and binds to UI controls.
