I worked on a win32 application for my first job out of college. My boss told me "want to learn win32 and c++, go program a windows calculator clone." It was a great project to get started and I did learn a lot. Now I have something to compare my work to ha

Yes I realize this calculator is now a universal windows app, I couldn’t edit cause noprocast locked me out after posting. Reguardless, building a calculator is still a great way to learn a new UI framework. I could see that this would have been a great resource for me as a new engineer (if building a universal windows app).

This calculator is not written using Win32.

(Why the downvotes?)

I didn't downvote you, but it comes across like you were trying to nitpick someone by pointing out a detail that isn't relevant to what they were saying.

One of my pet peeves when engaging in technical discussions!

In this case I think it's valid because the old calculator from windows 8 and below (before the app version) is sometimes called win32calc.

It's still useful for comparing the C++ parts. Could even be useful for learning how modern UWP XAML compares to classic Win32 approaches in C++.

I guess people downvoting you think it's obvious.
