From //Build 2015: Win2D is a new, immediate mode 2D drawing framework for XAML applications on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. It is built on the high performance foundation of DirectX, but is designed to provide the convenience and ease of use expected by C# and .NET developers. It also is a reimagining of the way that Windows develops APIs: from the start, Win2D has been fully open sourced on GitHub. Come build new apps and help contribute to Win2D!
