The training is composed of two parts. In the theoretical part – history, description of the purpose of this or that part of technology or its components. In the practical part we will analyze the functionality of different parts of the technology, you will get acquainted with the description of the main features and methods, and you will learn everything on examples.
COURSE PROGRAMME
Lesson 1: Introduction to the Universal Windows Platform. The life cycle of an application
The lesson covers the introduction to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), the initial settings for working with UWP, the difference between build versions, and the creation of our first application. We will learn the background of creating the application life cycle, and explore the behavior of the application from activation to shutdown.
Lesson 2: Layout Containers
In Lesson 2, we’ll look at the concept of layout, and learn about the existing containers for the layout process. You will also become familiar with the inheritance tree and the class from which all containers are inherited.
