Learning Windows Development with Quickstarts and How to’s
In coordination with the Windows developer preview release for the Build conference, we quietly have added a few new page types across our content sets and today I’ll talk about two very important ones: Quickstarts How-tos These are important because you can find the specific type of content that you are looking for by searching on the developer centers with the keyword “Quickstart:” or “How to:” and can also get right into the code by keeping an eye out for these keywords in page titles. Quickstarts The new quickstart page type is designed to quickly get you introduced to a scenario or feature without getting in to the details but instead focusing on just the essentials. For example, the Adding a flyout quickstart will get you going in just a few minutes from the Building your first Windows Metro style app with JavaScript to having a simple Metro style app with a flyout. Another great example is the Quickstart: Adding an app bar page which will quickly get you going from having a simple Metro style app to having a Metro style app with an app bar on the bottom of the screen.
