too bad windows apps required a comprehensive bottom to top knowledge of windows stuff.
for example - built an android app while learning java in school. didn't know what everything did but the outcome was the same as promised in the tutorial
meanwhile in the windows 7 app tutorials, phrases like "do this as you would do in wcf so & so and it should work" were thrown about leading to an endless nesting doll structure of learning what the definitions meant- that led to 4 weeks of on again off again learning before i made a copy of my android app. the tutorials improved later but i'd given up on windows app development by then, the promised free support for windows app developers never materialised in my country
great platform decisions, poor app developer support and shitty ecosystem(still haven't considered developing for the windows 10 appstore because of this reason).
