@JSRocks, I completely agree that docs and guidance for the JS strategy is weak. I'm just saying that I don't choose to take that to indicate a lack of intent or support. I haven't heard Microsoft say "we want to back off from the strategy of using JavaScript to build Windows apps".
As time permits, I will be working to get video and other content in place, and will push your feedback (which I concur with strongly) up the chain. Thank you somuch for your input.
@JSRocks, don't hear anything that's not being said. Microsoft loves JavaScript all over the place. It is building tools for JavaScript. Shoot, in many cases it's building tools with JavaScript.
Using HTML/JavaScript is a completely supported scenario in Windows 10 UWP apps.
It's true that we're heavier on the XAML/C# samples. There are a log of strong cases for using the power of XAML and C# and building a glossy, native app that takes advantage of numerous platform functionalities is one of them. Especially when you're more experienced with C#.
Don't look for an either or... a this way or that way. We're making tools for the code people are writing, and these days there are a lot of people writing JavaScript. I suppose like anything, that could change, but I can't see it. I'm going to keep writing JavaScript... when it makes good sense.
@FishOfPrey, sorry about that. There are different challenges available in various markets. Hopefully there are some in your market that help you learn and win!

The video issue has been fixed! Although its cause will forever be a mystery. And just when it was getting suspenseful!

@SheldonS: we talked about editing in some code, but I went the easy route. At least there was a working car and some hardware :) Thanks for watching.
