WHAT IS THE UNIVERSAL WINDOWS PLATFORM

As the world becomes more homogenized, there is a need for technology to work across several platforms. It was with this in mind that Microsoft developed an application programming interface called the Universal Windows Platform. This technology for UWP web app development was first introduced in Windows 10 with the total purpose of helping to create universal applications that would work with Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, the HoloLens and the Xbox One. Supporting app development in C++, C#, VB.NET, and XAML, it allows desktop software development companies to hit all the bases with UWP development services without having to constantly change code depending on the device they are creating the application for. It replaces Windows Runtime, which had launched in 2012 with Windows 8. Apps that can use the UWP are made in Visual Studio 2017, which itself features many different programming languages. This makes UWP application development much easier.
