What is Windows App Studio?
Windows App Studio is a free integrated development environment by Microsoft that allows anyone to easily build Windows apps without needing to know how to code. It provides a visual designer for building app interfaces by dragging and dropping components like images, text boxes, buttons, and more.
Key features include:
- Visual designer for building Windows app UI without coding
- Templates and components for common app patterns
- Connect apps to data sources like SQL, SharePoint, Azure services
- Incorporate maps, barcode scanning, image recognition, and other device capabilities
- Multi-device preview to see how app looks on PC, tablet, phone
