Developping web applications with WinJS

05 Apr 2014 in Web Development

As you maybe heard this week at the day 1 keynote of the //Build 2014, Microsoft has announced that WinJS is now open source and available for web applications and not only Windows / Windows Phone apps ! It offers the possibility to develop WinJS apps for other devices than Windows devices. I think the opportunity is really cool

WinJS sources are available on github and you can use it in your web apps now. It consists in a set of controls like ListView, FlipView, DatePicker, Hub… and more that can be used in simple web applications.

You may find a lot of samples at http://try.buildwinjs.com/

If you want more information about the WinJS roadmap, you’ll may be interested in watching this webcast from //Build 2014 :

Enjoy !
