#Windows 10 SDK Demo

##Introduction I couldn't wait for the release of all the official demos of the Windows 10 SDK. Of course there are some of them already available https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples but some are missing. The purpose of this project is very simple :

  • give everyone the opportunity to play with the APIs right now
  • share my enthusiasm for the new platform So this project is more a playground than a reference. Use it as sandbox to quickly test an API, to edit the code, evaluate some options or parameters.

##What's in ? 100% of the source code is available. It's full C# & XAML.

You will find a Visual Studio solution (Win10Demo.sln) including 3 projects

  • Main app. Each feature is illustrated in a single file. Ex : RelativePanelView.xaml for RelativePanel) (Win10Demo.csproj)
  • Secondary app for the app to app communication scenarii (Win10Demo2.csproj)
  • AppService project (Win10DemoService.csproj)
  • Universal Windows App running on Windows Phone, Windows & Windows IoT (Raspberry PI 2) (Win10DemoRPI.csproj)

##Q&A

Q: Hum, a sample doesn't work on my machine :S

A: The code was written on Windows 10 build 10061 with Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6. It is still a work in progress project. Your feedback is very welcome. Create an issue or a pull request on Github :)

Q: Are those example better that the official samples ?

A: No, they are different. Microsoft is investing a lot of energy to create awesome samples.

Q: Source code is great but do you have some videos ?

A: Yes, they are videos in English http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Developers-Guide-to-Windows-10-Preview and in French http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Microsoft-D-veloppeurs-France/01-Plateforme-et-outils
