Microsoft continues to advance in its commitment to developing technologies that optimize the user experience on its platforms. The company has focused its efforts on offering tools that allow developers to create more efficient and visually appealing applications, tailored to the over 1.5 billion Windows devices worldwide. These tools cover both native and cross-platform applications, with the goal of maximizing user interaction and experience.
Among the innovations presented, technologies such as WinUI, React Native, and .NET MAUI stand out. WinUI provides a set of modern interface controls that improve performance and streamline app launch. With the latest version 1.6 of the Windows App SDK, significant enhancements have been incorporated, such as Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) native compilation, optimizing memory usage and application responsiveness.
Additionally, Microsoft has strengthened its collaboration with Meta to implement improvements in the React Native architecture, benefiting both Windows and macOS applications. This update allows for optimized integration with the Windows SDK, offering new capabilities for Win32 applications, covering both old and new application formats.
In the .NET development realm, the .NET MAUI framework stands as a cross-platform solution, enabling developers to create native applications with common code for various platforms, including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. The recent update to .NET 9 brings performance improvements, new features, advanced controls, and templates for hybrid projects.
Furthermore, applications based on the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) can now be visually updated with the Fluent theme, adapting to Windows 11’s light and dark modes, offering a design with rounded corners in line with modern design guidelines.
Lastly, .NET 9 introduces the ability to modernize existing applications built on Windows Forms, allowing for the integration of asynchronous capabilities and the incorporation of modern technologies. These advancements will be the focus of the .NET Conf event, scheduled from November 12-14, where the recent tools and improvements for developers interested in continuing to innovate in the Windows ecosystem will be discussed in depth.
