INotifyPodcastChanged | Episode 1: A brief history of Windows App Development Tamás Deme and Joe Finney discuss the history of Windows app development, from Win32 to WinAppSDK and everything in between!

Our first episode is out! Find it wherever you listen to podcasts, or listen directly on our site! inotifypodcastchanged.com/1

We cover the history of Windows Development history, and realize we're both too young to know what came before win32 (or even when it began... almost)!

WinUI3Localizer has reached 100 stars on GitHub!🤩

Thanks!

Here is the GitHub repo. Give it a try and if you like it, don't forget to give it a ⭐!🙂
