You will need Visual Studio 2015 in order to build and deploy Universal Windows Platform apps, because they utilise NuGet 3.0, and with that, a different package structure.

I've found several tutorials and templates for Windows 8 Universal Apps (some even on Microsoft Virtual Academy). I know the basics and then some for Windows Forms, WPF, asp.net and Windows Phone apps. I know VB.net, but have gotten into C# in the later years too. I'm no expert, I'm just a hobby developer. I therefore concluded there would be many good examples out there. I thought it would be fairly easy, as 1) Universal Apps are already available for Windows 8.1 and 2) Microsoft keep telling us how awesome they are. I'd like to get a jump start on developing Universal Apps for Windows 10.
