WinRT is the latest application architecture from Microsoft for Windows 10 and components development. This webinar will show you how to take advantage of the new WinRT APIs and components in your Delphi and C++Builder applications.
WinRT is a modern C++17 language projection for WinRT and it’s implemented entirely in header files. This leads to great performance, both in time and space, typically performing better and producing smaller binaries than any other language option for the Windows Runtime. In one sentence, WinRT is for the new world.
