.NET 005: Xamarin with James Montemagno

Episode Summary In this episode of Adventures in .NET, James Montemagno, a PM in the developer division at Microsoft working with Xamarin shares with the panel all of the exciting things happening in the Xamarin world. Charles Max Wood invites listeners to check out James’s appearances on a different DevChatTV podcast, The iPhreaks Show. Charles expresses his excitement to see Xamarin from a .NET perspective. James starts the discussion by sharing how he got into Xamarin and .NET. He explains what he loves about .NET. James worked for Xamarin during the transition into Microsoft, he shares what it was like and how the unification of the two made their products even better. The panel discusses the changes in Microsoft’s practices over the past ten years, becoming more opensource friendly and less focused on selling products. What is Xamarin, is the next thing the panel answers. James explains that Xamarin helps developers build native apps in C#. He goes on to explain how the versions of Xamarin change based on the platform, Android, iOS and tooling inside visual studio. The topic turns to how Xamarin runs. James explains that there is a common theme in Xamarin, flexibility. Choosing how Xamarin is run is up to the developer, who can use AOT (ahead of time) or JIT (just in time). Charles explains what AOT and JIT mean and how they affect application size and performance. James explains how Xamarin runs differently for Android and iOS. James introduces a brand new mode called Startup Tracing and explains how it can reduce the start-up time for your Xamarin apps by up to 60% by using a small trace of AOT. He shares the future goals for this mode and explains that it is free and can be used today. The next concern the panel has is about sharing code between different platforms and how this works with Xamarin. James explains that this problem is solved with Xamarin forms, Xamarin forms has everything a mobile app developer could want. In Xamarin forms developers can create pages to share cross-platform or simply build their whole app for all platforms. James even explains how a developer can make platform-specific adjustments to the code. James defines customer-driven development and explains how this allows them to create the best product for developers. The flexibility and capabilities in UI’s and controls allows developers to choose what their app looks like. Caleb asks about the built template components that allows the developer to architect the navigation in their applications. James explains one of the tools, Shell and how it helps you set up your navigation how you want it while handling all the messiness with minimal code. Charles asks James about library integration into Xamarin. James starts by sharing what comes in the box with Xamarin, 100% API coverage for both Android and iOS. How this works is, a team looks at the needs of developers and makes a list of the necessary, popular and desired libraries and creates API bindings for them. Libraries that don’t make that list can have a binding generated with Xamarins binding generator, which will include the necessary features needed to use the library. The panel changes the topic to the new Xamarin features that James is most excited for. James mentions a one-stop library called Xamarin essentials that will hold all the things a developer might need. He also includes Xaml hot reload for Xamarin forms, this feature will create a better level of productivity as it reloads around typos and mistakes allowing developers to stay in their workflow. The panel discusses the other benefits of a feature like this. Caleb Wells warns how addictive a good hot reload can be. The episode ends with James giving advice and resources for getting into Xamarin. Charles praises the Microsoft documentation. Caleb gives an endorsement for Microsoft Learn. Charles invites listeners to suggest topics and guests at devchat.tv. Panelists

BFF and Minimals APIs get Darker - .NET 138

BFF and Minimals APIs get Darker - .NET 138

In this episode we dig into a few technologies that can be used together to great effect. We have discussed Backend for Frontend (BFF) before but in this episode the focus is a bit different. As it turns out, an awesome acronym like BFF gets reused. Setting up a BFF works well with the new minimal APIs that were included in .NET 6. Then we tie everything together with Darker, which is similar to MediatR, but with minimal configuration and features built for BFFs. We had a lot of fun discussing this tech stack with Jonny Olliff-Lee and hope you have just as much fun listening to it. In the episode we ask our listeners to help us with the best way to say BFF.

Cross-Platform .NET - .NET 135

Cross-Platform .NET - .NET 135

.NET has been cross-platform for a number of years now starting with the release of .NET Core. Most of the developers that we know work on Windows computers so we don't have first or second hand knowledge of using .NET on other operating systems. Today that is going to change. Maarten Merken has been doing .NET development on a Mac for more than two years and he joins us on the podcast to discuss his experience. We talk about different versions of .NET, debugging, virtualization, IDE's and more. When it comes to IDE's Maarten feels like JetBrains Rider is the best cross-platform IDE out there. Are you doing cross-platform development with .NET? If not, have you thought about trying it? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.

WPF Still Going Strong - .NET 134

"I thought WPF was dead" is usually one of the first things that Kevin Bost hears when discussing today's topic. WPF is not dead. In fact, WPF is supported by .NET 6 and a plethora of third-party apps, extensions and packages. Kevin has been working with WPF for a long time and has become an expert on the framework. In today's episode we discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses of WPF, competing frameworks, open-source projects and the path forward. If you need to develop desktop apps for Windows, WPF is still the most mature framework out there. Have you worked with WPF? Are you currently developing applications with WPF?

Authentication and Authorization - .NET 132

If the title of this episode didn't give it away... we are talking about logging into and accessing the content in web applications. Albert Starreveld spends a lot of his time implementing authentication and authorization workflows for his clients. There are a lot of factors that determine how to handle these implementations correctly. Are you still using role-based authorization? What identity provider are you using? Are you using SSO? Are you using claims/scopes? Do you know how to set up claims transformations? These are just some of the questions to ask when dealing with authentication and authorization. In this episode, we discuss these questions and more with Albert. Have you had to implement auth in a web application? How did it go? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.
