  It's still useful for comparing the C++ parts. Could even be useful for learning how modern UWP XAML compares to classic Win32 approaches in C++.

  I didn't downvote you, but it comes across like you were trying to nitpick someone by pointing out a detail that isn't relevant to what they were saying.

Yes I realize this calculator is now a universal windows app, I couldn’t edit cause noprocast locked me out after posting. Reguardless, building a calculator is still a great way to learn a new UI framework. I could see that this would have been a great resource for me as a new engineer (if building a universal windows app).
