Mhmmm.
- wvenable 8y agoI'm pretty sure that wasn't the plan.
- Const-me 8y ago> How did they treat Windows Phone developers? I was one of them, and Microsoft treated me very well. Windows Phone was an amazing platform. I’ve also developed for iOS a lot. Visual studio + expression blend was way ahead of apple’s xCode. Every single piece was much better: language, libraries, compiler, debugger, emulator, UI designer. The platform is now discontinued so I no longer develop for WP. Meanwhile, most of the skills I’ve obtained working on WP7-8 apps apply to other XAML-based platforms, i.e. WPF, WinRT, and UWP. Fortunately for me, Windows is not going from desktops any time soon.
