We are happy to welcome all of you to the Windows Calculator team! To get started, check out the Windows Calculator project on GitHub. To make this even easier, we will be contributing custom controls and API extensions that we use in Calculator and other apps, to projects like the Windows Community Toolkit and the Windows UI Library.
It’s also a great example of Fluent app design. Through this project, developers can learn from Microsoft’s full development lifecycle, as well as reuse the code to build their own experiences. Reviewing the Calculator code is a great way to learn about the latest Microsoft technologies like the Universal Windows Platform, XAML, and Azure Pipelines. Tap and hold on Calculator, and tap on Pin to Start in the bottom options bar. Type Calculator in the box and tap Apps from the bottom. Swipe your finger from left corner to right, and choose Search in Charms Bar.
There are many ways for developers at all stages to contribute: The project is “clone-and-go” and development will follow the standard GitHub flow. In addition to reusing and adapting the code in your own apps, anyone can participate in the development of Windows Calculator.
