Introduction to universal Windows apps in Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1

Came across a great post today on building universal Windows apps in Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. They even touched on being able to leverage this common WinRT from WPF (desktop) apps.

This is very neat and I’m looking forward to seeing more information about this from Microsoft with the next version of .NET and Visual Studio.

Enjoy!
