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. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the idea. I think I tried and I was accused of being ostentatious***** (WOTD). :rolleyes: Maybe that was on my sig line. I can't remember now. I just remember offending everyone with my vulgar pretentious display that was designed to attract notice. :laugh: All the while, I'm just trying to be obsequious**+** (WOTD). :laugh: *****characterized by vulgar or pretentious display; designed to impress or attract notice. **+**obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree.

According to [History of Windows Store: Total number of apps](https://windowsreport.com/state-windows-8-apps-windows-store/), 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?
don't

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

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.

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#.

Use SharpDX for C# DirectX. [Home | SharpDX](http://sharpdx.org/) Lots of "official" UWP samples here: [Code samples - Windows app development](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/samples)

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.
