Ask HN: What is the current Windows UI tech? Silverlight? UWP?

7 points·andrewstuart··5 comments

I’ve lost track of what Microsoft’s officially endorsed way of building cross platform applications for Windows and Xbox is.

There was silver light, UWP, others?

What would I use if I wanted to build an Xbox/Windows app?

I would guess the Xbox Game Development Kit. You could probably use Unreal Engine with this.

Microsoft lately seems to try to have .NET target every platform, but has a different framework for different combinations you want to target.
