Presentation about experiences and challenges in developing mobile app using Xamarin.Forms. This is a summup of project. What are good and bad sides of working with Xamarin.
How Xamarin Is Revolutionizing Mobile DevelopmentMentorMate
A look at the business case and strategies for cross-platform development.
Developing a mobile app for multiple platforms represents a major expenditure for businesses. Companies looking for a solution to decrease the total cost of mobile ownership through increased code reuse should look no further than Xamarin.
Cross-platform development with Xamarin allows teams to create fully native apps using the same code base, Visual C#. Depending on the Xamarin platform, teams can reach as high as 90% code reuse in developing mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows. Writing code once and drawing from the same library saves on code redundancy, upkeep and time. Learn how Xamarin development with Xamarin.Forms is transforming enterprise expectations around mobile development creation and maintenance costs.
Xamarin enables you to write the app for iOS, Android, and Widows in a single programming language – C#. Unlike Java and Objective-C, C# is a modern programming language. It makes it easier for programmers to implement language-level asynchronous programming and functional programming concepts. The language features provided by C# enables programmers to express concepts without writing additional code. At the same time, C# also helps programmers to write readable code and make the mobile app maintainable.

C# everywhere: Xamarin and cross platform developmentGill Cleeren
C# is hotter than ever. Using Xamarin, we can use C# to not only build our apps on Windows Phone but also on iOS and Android. The magic that sits between are PCLs (Portable Class Libraries) that we can re-use on all these platforms. The goal is of course achieving the highest level of code sharing and re-using.
In this talk, we'll see how we can share code between Windows Phone, iOS and Android to build a cross-platform app using Xamarin. You'll also see how much of the marketing fluff is real: do we really get a lower time-to-market when sharing code and is this approach really cheaper than building 3 apps separately? Come to this talk and learn all about it
As the mobile landscape continues to expand and evolve managing multiple code bases in different programming languages and development tools can become a nightmare fast. In this session you will learn about the technology that Xamarin offers and how it works to enable developers to leverage a shared C# code base across all mobile platforms.
James will walk you through developing, designing, deploying, and optimizing your first mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows from a single code base. You will walk away with the knowledge to build cross platform mobile app with C# features such as LINQ, async/await, events, and delegates and inside Visual Studio.

Abstract: has come a long way, enabling developers to build truly native & truly cross-platform apps across various platforms with OSS tools. The latest in Xamarin.Forms showcases increased developer productivity, matured tooling and easy code sharing across platforms. Let’s do a whirlwind tour of the hottest features, like
• Shell & Navigation
• Visual & Design themes
• Hot Reload & Hot Restart
• Android X & iOS 13 support
• Platform support with Tizen, WPF & Mac OS
Also, you may be invested in OSS .NET and Xamarin technology stacks. But there are some pain points in the present reality. Perhaps you crave for cohesiveness, maturity and want to have more confidence in the .NET and Xamarin.Forms ecosystem? Let’s take a look at the future with .NET MAUI – the evolution of Xamarin.Forms. While early days, the promise is exciting. Developers would be able to write more cross-platform code to target a wider selection of platforms, across mobile/desktop/web. Major design patterns include traditional MVVM and also the newer MVU pattern for additional developer flexibility. MAUI also opens the funnel to invite more developers into the ecosystem by offering choices in the UI stack – web technologies are welcome. The tools you know get better, apps aim to be more performant and developer cycles get tighter loops. Let’s explore!
The Great Mobile Debate: Native vs. Hybrid App DevelopmentNick Landry
It’s not easy being a mobile developer. iOS and Android dominate the market, Windows Phone is climbing into third place, and we’re not really sure if BlackBerry still matters. Do you focus on one platform or many? What size of the mobile population do you really want to reach? Each mobile platform comes with its own programming languages, SDKs, IDEs and application lifecycle & architecture. Are we really expected to learn all of this? Isn’t HTML5 supposed to be the Silver Bullet so we can finally write apps once and run them everywhere? This session will demystify all these questions, walking you through the modern mobile ecosystem, and explore your options as a developer. We’ll review the native story on each major platform, discuss the pros & cons of both mobile native and web development, cover some of the cross-platform solutions available to developers, and explore best practices and guidelines to insure a successful mobile strategy. Don’t just blindly pick a side or assume that “one size fits all”, this session covers one of the most hotly contested debates in modern IT. Come join us and be a part of the conversation.

Chicago Coder Conference 2015
Building cross-platform native UIs with one shared codebase was once just a dream. With Xamarin.Forms, this dream is now a reality. Xamarin.Forms allows you to build a native UI for three platforms with one shared C# codebase. Simply put, if you know C# then you already know how to build iOS, Android, and Windows Phone apps. Leverage the .NET Framework to build out your shared business logic including integration with web services and Azure Mobile Services and then build out your shared UI in
C# or XAML. Xamarin.Forms also features a built-in two-way data binding, dependency service to help you implement platform-specific code, an advanced cross-platform animation system, support for custom controls, and lots of other powerful features to help you build the best apps possible in the least amount of time.
During this session we will cover the Xamarin platform and the brand new Xamarin.Forms library to share even more code across iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. Moreover, we will really focus on the code with several live coding adventures throughout the entire session. When you leave you will have the knowledge to create your first iOS, Android, and Windows Phone mobile apps in C# with Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms.
Xamarin aims to be the framework that can cover all major mobile platforms- iOS, Android and Windows without compromising on quality and performance as expected from native apps development. Well known mature .NET framework libraries are available on Android and iOS platforms as well. The rich features of these libraries give an added advantage to Xamarin considering the developer view point.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
