I found this page most incomprehensible, so I looked around.
A reasonable summary of what they're trying to build here is "HyperCard for the internet", which is actually a pretty cool idea.
This article had the best short summary in my opinion: http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/19/5227140/microsoft-project-siena-windows-apps http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/19/5227140/microsoft-project...
- arebop 13y ago"HyperCard for Windows 8" rather: It's a Windows 8 application for making Windows 8 applications (which can use the network). Which makes this much less interesting to me.
- FiddlerClamp 13y agoAn important point - you can't create ready-for-the-Windows Store apps using Siena. They're apparently meant for internal company applications. I think you can export the project at the end so it can be massaged into a distributable app using VB/etc.

- rjd 13y agoHa, I read the page for a moments thinking "What is this?... a cooking app?". Definitely a gold star in the incomprehensible awards. Thanks for the link.
