Template Studio (formerly called Windows Template Studio, successor to Windows App Studio) is a free, open-source official plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio, developed by Microsoft. It is designed to help developers create UWP (Universal Windows Platform) applications more easily using a friendly wizard.

Microsoft has been a world leader in the area of program development all the time. Visual Studio 6.0 is a very classic programming component (Integrated Development Environment) introduced by Microsoft in 1998. This is the last version to run on the Windows 9x platform, the last version to include Visual J++, the last program development component of Microsoft that does not support the .NET Framework (Microsoft started to fully support the object-oriented .NET Framework from the next release of Visual Studio - 7.0), also the next four versions' core environment that provides programmers with an integrated look-alike platform.

BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is one of the most popular and widely used programming languages in the history of computing technology. Of course, the only BASIC-based languages still in production today are probably the cross-platform PureBasic and the classic, famous Visual Basic developed by Microsoft.

WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is Microsoft's user interface development framework based on Windows, belongs to part of the .Net Framework. It provides a unified programming model, languages and frameworks, indeed makes the interface design and the development work separate. Plus, WPF supports a brand-new multimedia interactive graphics user interface. As a major change in the Windows operating system, unlike the early GDI/GDI+, WPF is based on the DirectX engine that supports both software rendering and GPU hardware acceleration at the same time.

Microsoft's Visual Studio (written in C++ and C#) has always been the most powerful IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for C# development. Of course, nowadays, this most productive Visual Studio has also applied to the developments of Android, iOS, Windows, Web, and Cloud applications.
