Microsoft Developer Documentation Moves to Microsoft Docs Portal

Earlier this month during Microsoft's Developer Days online conference, the company not only confirmed that the upcoming Creators Update for Windows 10 was feature complete but they also announced that all developer documentation would reside at the new Microsoft Docs web portal.

The latest check of the Docs portal shows that there is now a section for not only Developer documentation but also information for Hardware Dev and IT Pros.

As you can see by the list below, documentation is available in every area that you can possibly develop for within the Microsoft stack and Windows 10. This content will get you well on your way to beginning your Windows development career or beefing up your current skillset.

Under the Developer documentation tab you will now find links to everything related to Windows 10 development.

The main Docs page also has links to help you get virtual machines for trying out the Windows 10 development environment, joining the Windows Insider program, and taking a look at the Microsoft Virtual Academy.

It is also very likely that exploring the hardware and IT Pro tabs on this same page might help you glean additional information about Windows 10 that will benefit your development efforts.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
