One of the most frequent questions/concerns I’m seeing in community is: what application changes do I need to consider for Windows 8.1 development? Is there anything I should be doing today in my Win8 apps to make it easy to move to 8.1 in the future?
There’s a ton of great info that came out of the recent //build conference. In my opinion, the main design consideration to take into account with applications in Win8.1 is to handle multiple screen sizes and states effectively. Conceptually, this is nothing new: when developing web applications or desktop apps, you have to assume the application will be viewed on a variety of form factors and handle the layout effectively.
