Microsoft’s annual developers conference Build 2015 had over 5000 attendees across 69 countries making their way to the Moscone Centre in San Francisco, all anticipating for the new announcements on Windows 10. Not letting down the Redmond tech giant excited everyone sharing the features for the OS and the unveiling of SDK’s for coders that could build across 4 different platform for the web with, .NET, Win32 & Android and iOS. Also announced new was Microsoft Azure data services for intelligent applications; Visual Studio and .NET tools and runtimes for Windows, Mac and Linux; and APIs that enable developers to build rich apps with Office 365.

Microsoft has bold ambitions for platforms that empower developers across Windows, Azure and Office,” said Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. “Together, we will create more personal and more intelligent experiences that empower billions of people to achieve more.”

Microsoft showcased several new features in Windows 10 and revealed the new name for Project Spartan; Microsoft Edge. Giving new capabilities to scale applications across devices to new ways for developers to build code for Windows 10.

The company further detailed ways in which developers can create a single app that scales across all Windows 10 devices, automatically adapting to different screen sizes. With the Universal Windows Platform, developers can tailor their apps to the unique capabilities of each device, integrate Cortana and Xbox Live into their apps, offer trusted commerce, create holograms, and publish their apps into the Windows Store. Also as part of the Universal Windows Platform, the company shared how apps can scale using Continuum for phones, enabling people to use their phones like PCs for productivity or entertainment with just a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The Windows Store will also offer a single unified experience for Windows 10 customers across devices and make finding great content easier than ever — across apps, games, music, video and other content. Transactions will take advantage of a range of popular payment options, including the carrier billing supporting 90 mobile operators. There are already partners building apps for the Windows Store like Disney and WeChat.

Microsoft welcomed all developers to the Universal Windows Platform by announcing four new software development toolkits that will make it easy bringing their codes to the web using .Net & Win 32, android- Java/c++, ios -Objective C to the Windows Store with minimal code modifications. This will enable developers to start with an existing code base such as Android or iOS, integrate with the Universal Windows Platform capabilities, and then distribute their new application through the Windows Store.

Finally Microsoft shared the progress it has made in fewer than 100 days since unveiling Microsoft HoloLens — the world’s first untethered holographic computer powered by Windows 10 — and showcased how customers like Trimble, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic are using this innovative new technology.These are great times for developers as the possibilities with unified platform and the hologram program is immense offering new opportunities never seen before.
