Free book helps developers modernize applications for containerized packages

Revenera, producer of leading solutions that help technology companies build better products, accelerate time to value and monetize what matters, today announced the publication of A Developer’s Guide to MSIX. This free, one-of-a-kind book is written to help developers retain as much code as possible, while modernizing applications for the new world of containerized packages.

MSIX, Microsoft’s packaging format, is the newest replacement for the Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) and Setup EXE installer technologies that have been around for decades. MSIX continues to gain acceptance and adoption because of the benefits it brings in terms of security, ease of use, and reliability in application installations. Revenera’s InstallShield helps software producers build MSIX packages for this new, modern runtime environment intended to protect both their applications and end-user systems.

  • Why MSIX
  • What MSIX brings to the world of software development
  • The right framework to create a project to modernize your applications
  • Basic concepts about running code in an MSIX container
  • How the Package Support Framework (PSF) can help solve common issues faced by developers
  • A guide to creating a new MSIX project and steps required for converting existing products to MSIX
