Windows Community Standup discussing the Always Connected PC During our January 2018 Windows Community Standup, we discussed the Always Connected PC and what that means for developers. Kevin Gallo (CVP), Erin Chapple (GM) and Hari Pulapaka (Principal Group Program Manager) discussed the ARM architecture and Qualcomm chip, how the OS is natively recompiled with full feature support, how we extended our WoW abstraction layer to support x86 applications, and much more. Watch the segment to learn how to debug and test your app on a Windows on ARM device and what you should be thinking about when developing for Windows 10 on ARM.

#ifdef WINDOWS – 3D launchers and glTF toolkit

2018-01-23 KENNETH 0

#ifdef WINDOWS – 3D launchers and glTF toolkit With the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, when developing experiences for Windows Mixed Reality, a 3D launcher can be defined to override the default 2D launcher and provide a richer experience launching a game or app from the mixed reality home. Roberto Sonnino and Tom Mignone from the mixed reality team dropped by my office to give me a hands on demonstration as we discussed why developers should consider creating 3D launchers and what is possible when creating 3D tiles. We also covered why the team chose glTF as the file format and how they created the glTF toolkit to make it very easy for developers to modify and optimize glTF assets. Check out the full video above and feel free to reach out on  Twitter or in the comments below. Happy coding! Source: #ifdef WINDOWS – 3D launchers and glTF toolkit

2018-01-18 KENNETH 0

Improvements to the DevTools Console in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update We made significant improvements to the Microsoft Edge DevTools in EdgeHTML 16 with the Windows 10 Fall Creator’s Update, including new support for DOM mutation breakpoints and event and CSS inspection in the new Elements tab. Today, we’d like to walk through new improvements we’ve made to the Console to improve the output and input experiences of working with the Console. Our main goals were to increase the flexibility of the Console in displaying information, and to increase your productivity when working with the Console prompt. First, let’s cover the new features we made to improve the user experience of Console output. Log message consolidation and UX improvements Have you ever written a console.log statement in a for loop and watched your entire Console fill up with output? [ more… ]
