On top of built-in app functionality, UWP provides features to build background tasks, app services, and reusable components that can interact with an app outside of the app. In this course, you will learn how to use these features.

- configure communication between background tasks and an app
App Services
- create an app service project in Visual Studio and specify the AppService extension
- implement an app service
- deploy an app service
- implement an app client that calls an app service
- implement an app service to run the same process as the foreground app as a background task
