title: Can I use javascript to make the equivalent of Windows Form Applications?
body: <p>I have used Visual Studio to make Windows forms applications using C# and VB but I would like to start learning another language, preferably javascript. Can I do this? I just downloaded Visual Studio 2012 Professional and the only option I can find is to make Windows 8 Apps. </p>
  
  <p>Sorry if this is an obvious question with an obvious answer but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Also I'm interested if my line of thought (trying to use javascript to make windows desktop applications) is a dumb one so please chime in if it is.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>I should point out I will be developing a UI that cannot be run from a browser necessarily; that is technicians will be using it in the field, far away from wifi.</p>
