Creating Windows Phone 8 Apps

[maclancer]

Does anyone know what is the easy method to create apps in Windows Phone 8? I don't know anything about Visual Studio but I have a free copy of Visual Studio 2013, courtesy of my school. I know I can create windows phone apps in visual studio but it involve doing complex coding and other complicated stuff that only a developer will understand. I need something that can be noob friendly. thx!

U cant make apps if you dont know any programing language.
And if you do, Visual Studio is the best (if not the only) solution.

I know, I need to learn the basic... Specially when I have access to the latest Visual Studio Pro 2013

If you wanna get into C++, then I suggest this site Learn C++
I'm gonna combine it with some wikimedia books and another tutorial I found on the web and I think that should do the trick.

Click the picture in my signature. It will take you to a How-to to create your first app in App Studio. No coding required.

Ma Rio, your reply is no longer correct - Microsoft created App Studio for people who don't know code to create apps.

Thats just editing templates provided by MS. Its as close to making apps as paint is to photo editing.

In your opinion. But since the apps that are created can be published in the store, I would say that Microsoft's opinion differs.
