Akavache is an awesome library to use when it comes to caching. It’s fast, cross platform and it abstracts the complexity of working correctly and fast with sqlite.
I’ve been programming some Xamarin Forms apps. Setting up a good solution and structure your code isn’t always easy. The Xamarin frameworks are evolving fast and the setup you did some months ago suddenly doesn’t feel that appealing anymore. The way Xamarin.Forms handled navigation changed dramatically over time, the way they handle lists, supporting fragments for Android…
Last month I went to Xamarin Evolve. A lot of great new stuff was announced like workbooks, the iOS simulator for windows, the Xamarin.Forms previewer,… But besides all those big announcements there were a lot of small takeaways that make your life as a developer easier. One of those small tips is the SynchronizationContext.
Over the next few months, Xamarin Insights will merge with HockeyApp.
I’m glad to announce that today I renewed my Xamarin Mobile Developer Certificate.
