We are happy to announce that the Microsoft Virtual Academy training course, A Developer’s Guide to Windows 10, is now available on demand. This video training course, delivered by experts Andy Wigley and Jerry Nixon, is aimed at helping developers understand the Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform. To get started building apps using Visual Studio 2015 RC and the tools for Windows 10 (Technical Preview), watch the video and find the code here for all the samples used in this course.

Does your UI adapt to changing conditions? We cover that in the course. Does your code adapt to different device-types? We cover that in the course. Does your application light up, leveraging the unique capabilities across Windows families? We cover that too. What about connecting devices, sharing data, and storing state? We cover all of these and more in the course.
