Dot net framework team are very fast.

When i want move to RoR, they provide asp mvc 3 include EF migration.

When i want move to js, they provide async keyword.

Now when i want move to f#, they provide it all in c# language

It is kinda little irony. C# become more like sun in 90s and java become more like microsoft in 90s

Avoid failure is imposibble. Try find smart way to failure fast and not hurt too much

If this happend:

1. This is very bad for windows phone developer. It will make the ecosystem more suffer

2. There is a little hope. Windows phone is more efficient than android. If wp10 full compartibility with android hardware spec, wp10 can fight on below 100 dollar price

the free private repo information only available on homepage and sign in page. usually what i'm doing is look at the price plan and then find word free or zero dollar

gitlab only import bitbucket git type, not mercurial type. need workaround, convert from hg to git, then import to gitlab

suggestions:

1. Put free price / comunity product on price plan

2. Provide simple guide and script to convert existing bitbucket hg to git (because people are lazy)

hi miguel,

thx for responding my comment. after read your explanation, i agree with your argument about xamarin form. it just need more feature and more sample. Xamarin sample layout is not esthetic. You should look at telerik example. And last one, when feature listview drag and drop swap row available on android ?

thx

I think you should observe more on microsoft stack. Big change, new ceo , new policy. Some product change to open source, some product change to free

Macincloud is enough.

If you dont have mac, and belive in xamarin,

My sugestion is try build on android first,

If have good respond from customer, then buy mac and porting to iOS

Porting xamarin android to iOS is very easy if you have mvvm knowledge

Hi james,

I'm following your blog.

In last month, you try to prove UI xamarin form capable do all layout

Here is the idea, if you dont mind, would you convert ListViewAnimation android to xamarin component

(Warning: this is not a light library)

At the moment, there is no listview xamarin component support drag and drop swap row.

Need that to move and reorder and row sequence

I'm sure every project need powerfull listview

Love your work Thx

I using xamarin in last 16 months

From my experience, xamarin take wrong UI improvement strategy

Dont get me wrong, this is a good product, i love it, but just going to wrong direction

This is the big 2 mistakes:

1. You change the API class and method name to .net version

For first time user, this is good approach, but i must rename every sample snippet code from stackoverflow

You should save the resource for renaming API to something else more valueble ( hint : fixbug )

Are you rename the API because of patent and legal issue?

2. Xamarin form

This is the worst strategy.

Maybe this is good for B2B

And maybe B2B is good money

But for me, indie programmer, B2C product, i dont need xamarin form

I need best approach to use UI library

Stop xamarin form, there is other way to get 90 percent shared library

Support more on MVVM cross

Duplicate total of the xamarin component store

Improvement object sharpie to support UIKit.h

Object sharpie not working if using UI library

Android binding still design for eclipse project, not android studio

I'm wasting 1 week to bind ListViewAnimation android, and still not working

My point is, it really hard to bind UI library on xamarin

Conclusion,

Please please turn around and go back to your real core value.

We like native, improve native, do not recreate the UI component

You know what happend when you try recreate UI?

Go check java se and Qt

I think a good way to marketing typescript is provide tool converter c# to typescript. It would be fun is there is tool convert my mvvm portable library to typescript angular js. If microsoft provide this, i can porting my mobile app to mobile site easily. And then automaticly i will learn typescript

Is azure has the product like this? Usually cloud war start from amazon, then google, and then azure is the last one
