The source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/Microsoft/calculator




Anyone can participate in the development of Windows Calculator. According to the following

announcement:

In addition to reusing and adapting the code in your own apps, anyone can participate in the development of Windows Calculator. Getting involved is simple. The project is “clone-and-go” and development will follow the standard GitHub flow. There are many ways for developers at all stages to contribute:

• Participate in discussions
• Report or fix issues
• Suggest new feature ideas
• Prototype new features
• Design and build together with our engineers

The source code is great for anyone who wants to learn how to create applications in XAML even though the programming language used is in C ++.

However it is recommended to have the following requirements::

• Windows 10, version 1803 or newer.
• Latest version of Visual Studio.

The end of CodePlex

For people who read the announcements already know that CodePlex will be turned off on December 15 of this Year. For people who have not yet noticed CodePlex 2017-12-15.

Now what are we going to do? Is there a solution?
Yes, let's all switch to GitHub.


What ?  Seriously ?
Yes you can check on the blog of Brian Harry's  in https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/bharry/2017/03/31/shutting-down-codeplex/.

"We migrated too.  As many of you know, Microsoft has invested in Visual Studio Team Services as our “One Engineering System” for proprietary projects, and we’ve exposed many of our key open source projects on GitHub (Visual Studio Code, TypeScript, .NET, the Cognitive Toolkit, and more).  In fact, our GitHub organization now has more than 16,000 open source contributors – more than any other organization – and we’re proud to partner closely with GitHub to promote open source."

Microsoft has created a guide how to migrate from Codeplex to GitHub available at https://codeplex.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Migrating%20to%20GitHub.
