So as far as MS is concerned, .NET/C# is still the officially sanctioned way to develop apps for their new "tablet-age" Windows 8+? [not desktop apps]

- _random_ 13y agoYes, but they are trying to make JS/HTML developers feel welcome as well.
- profquail 13y agoI think the point is that there are now multiple officially sanctioned ways to develop apps for Windows Phone and Win8 tablets: .NET (C#/F#/VB.NET/etc.), WinRT (C++/CX, which is an offshoot of C++/CLI), and HTML5+JS. Each way has it's own strengths and weaknesses, but the idea is that you can use whatever's best for your specific application.
- shanselman 13y agoIn fact, MOST apps in the store are C# and XAML. It's the best way to make an app that runs anywhere, using xamarin for other platforms.
