Developing an app without writing a line of code? Now you can
Windows App Studio enables all users, even those who do not have programming experience, to develop basic universal applications.
Microsoft in recent months seems to have been reborn: presented two smartphones with innovative features and a revolutionary laptop. During the event to present the company has managed to convey enthusiasm and passion, as well as he could for years. This does not mean that Microsoft does not have to deal with thorny issues: like Windows 10, the new Lumia like, but there is still a doubt on the entire ecosystem and is related to third-party applications.
Microsoft has worked hard on the subject with choices sometimes questionable. But in recent years, developers have shown little interest in the mobile platform of Redmond, especially since used by a small number of users from its competitors. From here came the idea of universal app, which is a method to conduct developers to deploy applications on the mobile using the huge customer base that has on the desktop. The universal app indeed work on all Windows devices.
In parallel, the company is releasing developer tools increasingly simplified to the point that allow you to ” publish an app with Windows timing records without requiring the writing of code. ” As written by Microsoft, the new release of Windows App Studio allows you to do this by helping the developer not only in the work program, but also those related to the publication of the Windows Store. All without writing a single line of code.
It is obvious that the result will be something very basic. Choosing between projects can be preset for example display a web page within the application, or show parts available on the various online services within a GUI already designed. The inexperienced user can create an app in the specific RSS reader or an audio content from YouTube, Flickr, Bing, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
You can also create sections in HTML, but this of course requires a basic knowledge of a programming language. While the idea behind Windows App Studio we liked, or to make easy the development of the app, the other could be counterproductive for the platform. The number of app bottom of the Windows Store is just one of the problems of the ecosystem.
