Building a simple app, you say? Start small and find a project that excites you. Maybe something that you'll use? Music player, simple game, note app, etc. Apply what you learn straight away to that project. Keeps the motivation up. And hey, trial and error ain't just a method; it's a lifestyle when you code.

honestly, just messing around with the templates in Visual Studio helped me learn a lot. Then hit up Stack Overflow when things inevitably go sideways. UWP ain’t the friendliest start for a total newbie though, not gonna lie.

When I got started, Bob Tabor’s video tutorials were a godsend for learning the basics. Look 'em up. Also, pick up a copy of 'Windows 10 Development with XAML and C# 7' if you prefer reading. It's useful to have as a reference while you’re coding.

u wanna build apps but got no coding skills? good luck with that LOL. Maybe try building a house without knowing how to lay bricks. Pro tip: start with Scratch or something, not UWP.

I started with UWP using 'A Developer's Guide to Windows 10' on Channel 9. They assume little knowledge and it's free! Visual Studio Community Edition is also free and it’s honestly the best tool for a beginner. Happy coding!

Been in your shoes! 😅 Happened upon a course on Udemy called 'C# Basics for Beginners: Learn C# Fundamentals by Coding'. It's great! After that, I jumped onto the UWP tutorials on Windows Dev Center! And don't worry, there's a great community here to help if ya get stuck! Have fun coding!

If you're diving into UWP, I'd suggest starting with a solid foundation in C#. Pluralsight courses are excellent for this. Once you're comfortable, move on to the 'Windows 10 development for absolute beginners' series on the Microsoft Virtual Academy site, it's tailored for starters like you. And don't forget to get your dev environment set up with Visual Studio—the Community version is free and fully featured for individuals.

so u want to start UWP huh? check out the official docs by Microsoft, they r pretty good for getting the basics down. also, try creating a simple 'Hello World' app first n then build up from there. you'll learn a lot just by tweaking that around!
