    Evolving Simple Wireframes With AppMock

    In an earlier post I introduced the initial wire-frame design for an application that I’ll be creating from scratch in XAML and C#, tentatively named Conference Buddy.

    Visual Studio received a facelift in 2012, and our tools changed to match its look and feel.

It’s from Microsoft, and it’s free. We modified JustCode well before the official release of Visual Studio 2012 to support the new theming capabilities. Since you use Visual Studio for your development environment, we want to ensure our tools integrate for a seamless experience.
