Use the app to explore technical topics in powerful new ways, including multiple ways to mark up content so it’s more useful to you. Your first learning experience is a guided tour to programming Windows Store apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, by author Kraig Brockschmidt. Look for additional tours in the near future.
