Abstract
With Windows Phone 8.1, convergence with the Windows programming frameworks means that it is easy to build universal apps that run on both Windows tablets and PCs, and on Windows Phone. In this session, we will take a look at the new features in Visual Studio 2013 and the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK that help you build universal apps, and dive into the architecture of a ‘real-world’ universal app, looking at questions such as when to use shared code in the Shared folder, when and how to use Portable Class Libraries, how to share XAML and what you should do to create tailored UI that differs between a Phone screen and a Tablet/PC screen.
