Official support, documentation, perf (presumably), debugging, and tooling support would be my main concerns. Technically, XAML makes heavy use of C#'s events and properties (which C++\Cx adds to C++), which don't exist in plain o

I'd still choose to use C++ or C# for cross-platform code if starting from scratch. However, I've never had to work on cross-platform apps, and have never been subjected to JavaScript professionally, so my opinion is probably wort

Do yourself a favor and use C# or even C++\Cx instead. They're both a much better fit for XAML. Full disclosure: I work at Microsoft on XAML UI in C++. It's nice. Opinions are my own.

Still a thing, even in Windows 10. See the "Segoe MDL2 Assets" font.

I have to sympathize with Obama here. Although I am very much pro-encryption, the arguments here are not convincing at all; you'll have a hard time convincing people by dismissing their views or implying that they don't know what

How I did it for a Microsoft interview: cram for a weekend with a good algorithms text book. I do UI development where 99% of the work is figuring out the UI framework but the study session definitely got me into the right mindset for inter

This is exactly why sandboxed apps (e.g., iOS/UWP/etc.) are a good thing.

"Microsoft OS has monopoly power in the PC market." Is there a legal difference between a "PC" and a tablet or phone? They all seem like general purpose computers to me. From that perspective, MS definitely doesn't

As a C++/XAML mobile app dev, I'm baffled by how a common UI like this (lots of lists?) requires such a deep dive.

That's exactly what the FDA does for medical devices. They don't test devices, they audit your facilities, processes, and product documentation.

Both. It's extraordinarily complex. The data entry is highly structured. All the electronic record software I've seen has probably ~100 pages worth of forms, a big subset of which usually need to be filled out for each patient vis

There is still a requirement for highly structured data entry that is unavoidable. Even if you reduced the other documentation requirements, the "computerized physician order entry" systems (healthcare lingo) still require quite a

The biggest downside to me is games. I returned an iPad Pro for the 12" MacBook. Just as portable and Civ V and Steam/Xbox streaming is a much better use of my limited gaming time than anything on the app store.

Yea, the multi-tasking UI is especially half baked. You should be able to have two instances of the same app side-by-side (at least Safari).

It's verbose but also extremely flexible and toolable. You're discounting how easy it is to add arbitrary animations between these two states, or how you can visualize them in Visual Studio without having to rebuild your app. You
