Software Requirements
This book targets Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, and the corresponding developer tools. The tools are a free download at the Windows Dev Center: http://dev.windows.com. The download includes the Windows SDK, a version of Visual Studio Express for Windows, and miscellaneous tools.
Although it’s not required, I recommend PAINT.NET, a free download at http://getpaint.net, for creating and editing graphics, such as the set of icons needed by apps.
