In this article we will see how to develop a Universal App with Windows Phone App Studio.

The Universal App outputs update Visual Studio 2 2013, giving the possibility of developing an application for Windows 8.1 and for Windows Phone 8.1 under a single solution, but especially strong from that both use the same technology framework (Windows Runtime) with which it is possible to run an easy code sharing between the two applications and facilitates much the creation of graphical user interface , styles and much more, but more importantly allows you to save a lot of time at creation time and reducing development time and cost said.

For those wishing to explore this new technology I leave here the link to the official documentation.

After this brief introduction come to us, we will see all the steps needed to create a complete and functional application.

But now we start to build our application, Below, for those interested, I leave the link to the article where Wiki is explained step by step how to create an application of type Univerasl App
