I develop a windows 8 application (html and js) and I try to add a voice control system (microsoft speech) the first question is:
is it possible to add a dll (microsoft.speech) to my project and did you know a good web site describe this
thank you :)
You can use bing speech recognition control for this.This has been released recently. You need to install it from visual studio gallery.For more details on installation and usage of bing speech recognition control please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn434583.aspx

If anyone has any input on if it is possible to include offline voice recognition in Windows Phone 8.1 or Windows UWP 10 I would appreciate any input! The online functionality works great for windows phone 8.1, but the app I am developing will need to be used offline in some cases.
The short answer to your question is no.
Predefined grammars like dictation grammar and web-search grammars are online. They can't work offline.
These predefined grammars can be used to recognize up to 10 seconds of speech input and require no authoring effort on your part. However, they do require connection to a network.
I don't know the details of your requirement. But you can try to use Custom grammars like Programmatic list constraints and SRGS grammar to implement it as they can work without Internet. For more info, please see Speech interactions and the official Speech recognition and synthesis sample in GitHub.
Also you can vote on UserVoice to ask for the offline voice recognition feature.
I would like to start programming for the Universal Windows Platform with an universal app running on Win10 desktops, tablets and phones.
I'm new to programming mobile Windows applications, so I have to learn some basics. I have some experience in Java/Android programming and basic skills in C#.
My problem now is that there aren't much tutorials for UWP app development which teach from the beginning how to program such an app. What I find are some tutorials for Windows phone 8 app development.
Are the differences too big or would you recommend to go through Windows phone 8 tutorials to get into the app for Windows topic?
UWP tutorials are sparse and hard to find, it's true. The difference isn't "Big" if you're doing a basic app, but once you start getting into any sort of mid-level apps then yes it diverges from the W8/WP8 paradigm.
One thing you can do is use the Windows App Studio, and create a generic app with an RSS feed, youtube videos or whatever, and download that solution and then look through the code that is automatically generated. I found a few good sources too:
Windows Dev center is also a huge help with example code (on GitHub) and the MSDN has examples as well, if you filter through it properly.
Channel 9 has an absolute beginners tutorial series from nothing to a superhero app.

I also found a good youtube series that covers individual topics instead of a real tutorial series for learning to program apps:

I am a C# windows developer. I recently started to work with WinJS. Working with WinJS, I have noticed some challenges and limitations. Can face some new challenges as the community support for WinJS is very less. Below are the few points mentioned regarding this concern
a. WinJS does not support Visual Studio features like Finding References of Classes and Variables which is very useful to code productively.
b. WinJS is not strongly typed as C#. So we will get to know about the errors at runtime only instead of compile time which is difficult to Debug and time taking process.
c. WinJS does not support feature “What you see is what you get”. Visual Studio designer is not available for WinJS. We can see the application design only after we run the application which is again time taking thing.
There are very less chances of availability of “Ready to Work on WinJS” resources. Because most of the developers in Windows community work on C#, XAML languages.
d. Direct compatibility of third party libraries for WinJS might not be available.
Have anybody experience in WinJS and faced similar issues? Or Are there any solutions exists for this? What is the scope of improvement in Windows 10 version for WinJS??
For an HTML/CSS/JS designer, that's what Blend for Visual Studio is for. Load the project into Blend and you'll get a designer that also works when you're running the app. Documentation for this is on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj129478.aspx, and there's a great video from //build 2013 that shows the flow, http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2013/2-311. I also cover using Blend to some extent in my free ebook, Programming Windows Store Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, 2nd Edition.

Where can i find some nice tutorials on developing apps that target windows phone apps specifically?
I want to take advantage of direct x.
Is Developing Windows phone apps remotely the same as developing a windows application?
Ima newb but i just read an entire c++ book.
I am currently in Asia, And can not google at the moment :D
You could find great tutorials at http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/
and developing apps for widows phone is quiet the same but you've gotta learn a few new class since WP and windows don't fully share the WinRT Core. You can develop apps using C++ but i would recommend to go for C# because it is far flexible that C++ and getting help is easy...
I was introduced to programming by the web (HTML, CSS, JS, and some PHP) and never tapped on the desktop development for Windows so when I tried to read through the Windows Phone 8 developer documentations, I was totally lost at sea.
I once read a line or two on Microsoft website that says you can build WP8 apps using just HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript but could never find it any more. So my question is if it's possible?
I tried to find something to get started but it seems to me it all requires C#, C/C++, etc.? I thought they said the web is native in WP8? So in this sense, I should be able to develop apps using just HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript? Am I right?
Yes, of course. You can use PhoneGap to get your job done!
Yes, Visual Studio 2012 provides a template to build HTML5 apps. This template is available with WP8 SDK.
Alternatively you can use Phonegap, Titanium, Sencha.

You can use Phonegap to do that. Phonegap is a wrapper built around html5 technologies.
I've been looking into the same issue, and found this wonderful post:
http://ax2012aifintegration.blogspot.com/2013/11/mvvm-windows-phone-8-app-using.html
Here, they make a normal WP8 app in Visual Studio, and adapt it to be written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, using Model-View-ViewModel pattern.
I believe the upcoming Visual Studio 2013 (which is available as a RC version right now) will have the templates installed, but for now, as others have pointed out, PhoneGap is the best option. I remember having created a JS project in VS 2012, but now that I have a new computer I can't find the templates anywhere.
Here is a nice tutorial from MSDN on how to create an HTML5/JS project in Visual Studio using PhoneGap:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/davrous/archive/2011/12/23/tutorial-how-to-create-html5-applications-on-windows-phone-thanks-to-phonegap.aspx
Yes it is possible to create windows apps using html 5 and javascript
U can also develop windows phone apps without having the knowledge of coding...
