Well, since the upgrade of Windows 8, developers can now develop apps in HTML and CSS. Windows 8.1 has some other built-in bug fixes too. But this feature came up by the upgrade of OS from Win 7 to Win 8.
Now, we can create a simple and easy HTML software for Windows API. We can stylize it using CSS, and we can work on the events using JavaScript, man please no more JavaScript talk, I am sick of it. jQuery would be used here more oftenly, but still we would need to stick to pure (or native) JavaScript in some places where we would be handling the OS based messages.
So, let us get our selves warmed up for Windows Programming too. It’s just been made easy for us!
