2. Xamarin
Microsoft announced to acquire Xamarin, a
mobile app development platform provider, granting bigger opportunity to
creative developers to show their innovation on any device. With Xamarin,
developers are empowered to build mobile apps taking advantage of .NET and
using C# to write native APIs and share the codes across iOS, Android and
Windows. Long-time partnership between Microsoft and Xamarin has made a great
joint to integrate this mobile app development platform into Visual Studio,
Microsoft Azure, Office 365 and the Enterprise Mobility Suite, and the recent acquirement
will bring close works supplying more tools, services, workflows helping developers
build amazing cross-platform apps. Also, we hope more information to be
revealed at Microsoft Build 2016.
3. Xbox Universal Apps
Since Windows 10 was released in last
year, topics about universal apps are always in the air. But, there is no official
announcement of everything of this program until a Xbox One demo app, which can
run across PCs, smartphones, tablets, TV screens and of course Xbox, was presented
at WMC 2016 by Kevin Gallo, technical lead for Windows universal apps. The
first look of Windows universal apps had been introduced and in-depth messages
like when developer can build apps for Xbox One, are expected to be sent at upcoming
Build developer conference.
