Microsoft unveils App Studio to ease development of Windows and Windows Phone apps

[anuseems]

Microsoft's App Studio beta test has been expanded to allow novice developers to build applications for Windows tablets and PCs, in addition to Windows Phone.

From Computerworld:

Last year Microsoft introduced a beta version of Windows Phone App Studio in an effort to increase the number of apps for its smartphone OS by letting almost anyone build an application. The company has now expanded the platform to let users build for tablets and PCs at the same time, and renamed the service Windows App Studio, it said in a blog post on Friday.

The hosted service runs in a browser and lets users choose from a number of templates to get started and then add content such as images, videos, RSS and Twitter feeds. Content can be pulled from sites such as Youtube, Flickr and Facebook, a new addition to the platform.
