According to History of Windows Store: Total number of apps, there are 800,000 windows store app now.
I am contemplating to do a UWP app in my own free time. I am good in C++. But standard C++ support is still in beta. And C# UWP does not have directx support. So I am kinda stuck with C++/CX.
Some of the old tutorials I read still mentioned Metro and Windows 8.
Any advice for me?

Thanks mate! I'm going to spend Sunday, going through your UWP articles!
Thanks again!

Thank you for checking out my articles. Hope they help to give a start in the right direction.
If you get a chance, let me know what you think. Thanks.

Looks like he used C# though and you specifically want to use C++?
|
|

All UWP documentation have C#, C++/CX and Javascript code examples which I can refer.
I know C# and C++/CX is kinda similar to C#, so it is not difficult for me to convert to C++/CX. Anyway almost all UWP tutorials, except DirectX ones, found on the web are in C#.

You might want to also put the books etc. in your profile bio as well, as no one would know if you didn't tell them. Just a thought. It could be there already, I just didn't find it.

It's a small CP-World out there. Columbus has always seemed like a great city to me.
Do you like it there?
Dayton has been a great hub for a long time and lots of tech / dev jobs for many years. Hopefully it will continue.

Yeah, Columbus is pretty nice in my opinion. Lots of tech jobs here as well.
We had a central Ohio CP meetup a few years ago (just 3 people, 4 if you count my son). We should probably plan another one.

If you're looking to be able to use C# and DirectX for a Windows Store app the best solution would be to try MonoGame.
|

As for language domains, you can have your app in C# (which is fast and easy to make), and have your Windows Runtime Component in C++ for DX.
Most UWP stuff is just the Metro framework expanded and consolidated. Most references to Metro/Windows 8 are still applicable.
There's a lot of support, even if you think UWP is dead (according to the news media and google fanboys). There's also a lot of open-source apps for reference and learning.
