Que necesito?
Stay tuned for a new tutorial on how to create mobile applications with Blazor. As part of a great initiative of the Xamarin community in Spanish, on December 9 we will be creating a sample project from scratch. If you want to learn more about this event check the link below.

And don’t forget you can switch languages at the top of my blog . Blazor out!
After I found https://referencesource.microsoft.com/ I have been using it non stop every time I want to do quick check on a class implementation, or even out of curiosity when I am bored. (I know, my hobbies 🤦♂️).
I really like how fast it is and how it has many features we already love: Go To Definition, Find all References, Highlight References and more.
“He is talking again about conferences. Yeah, Yeah, we know, they are great.”
Well, before you run away, hear me out. This time I have a different point. Yes conferences are great and CDC is one of my favorites but what no one talk about is, they are a lot of work for the organizers.
I had the opportunity to be part of the staff of CDC 2019 and I have to give a big shout out to the Megsoft team for all their hard work and for making this event possible.

On September 18, I arrived in Montreal for UnoConf. The conference took place the 19th with an amazing workshop held on the 20th.
Without delay I will drop here a great recap so you can see for yourself how amazing it was. Spoilers: Great Keynote by Miguel de Icaza. Awesome session by Jerome Laban and, wait for it … WebAssembly Renderers for Xamarin.Forms.
If you guys have not use this combination I strongly suggest to give it a try. Prism handles navigation like a boss, ReactiveUI makes your code readable that you will comeback 6 months from today and you will still be able to pick it up fairly quickly (that is not the only reason of course but one of the most appealing for me) and Xamarin Forms (no need for introductions here).
If you have never used Prism or ReactiveUI I recommend:
And
Now, How do we use them together?
I know I still owe you guys the complete article about the XAF POS Teaser but I could not help it. Here is a quick XAF to Xamarin Teaser.
Remarks:
I am really happy about this template. I believe it will save a ton of time. As always feel free to reach out with any question/suggestion or if you are struggling trying to make your XAF project mobile.
Xafmarin out!
Last week, The Xamarin Saturday took place in Toronto. I was lucky enough to assist and again, the trip from Arizona was worth it every min.
I won’t go too deep in details about the conference because I believe Andrew Hoefling did a great recap here but at least wanted to put some of my impressions here so I can comeback later and reminisce.
A few months back my great friend Joche Ojeda did a post on a CodeRush Template for Xamarin forms bindable property and to quote him exactly:
“From time to time I realize that a lot of the stuff I’m writing is repetitive and complex, so that is the perfect time to create a new code rush custom template, behold the new template xfbp (xamarin forms bindable property).”
Well, behold some other templates for XAF, Xamarin, Prism and Reactive UI.
Last month, I was in Houston at the Xamarin Developer Summit, a conference by the community and for the community, and I have to admit it was everything I expected and more. You read blogs about past events (Microsoft Build, Evolve, Ignite) but nothing compare to actually attending one.
It was good to meet a large number of community members that you follow daily on twitter, read their articles and actually ask them anything in person.
