In just four years, Xamarin went from a startup to a household name in development. Read about its rise to power and how it will continue changing mobile development

• Fixed: Android SDK not found after upgrade to 16.2
• Fixed: VS won't start after update with message tht setup is complete.
• Fixed an issue resulting in an installer verification or manifest verification fail when user is updating through the setup UI.
• Fixed an issue that caused Visual Studio to crash or stop responding during shutdown.

• Fixed an issue with Visual Studio crashing when C# users typed above a namespace.
• Fixed an issue preventing SSIS packages from successfully running in some circumstances after reloading a solution. 

Developers who are new to coding or still learning can take a tip from those who know: if they aren’t using Stack Overflow, 84% of developers are using technical documentation to learn. Of those using technical documentation, 90% use the documentation found in API and SDK packages.

What I've learned from 20 years of programming in C# with Joe Albahari with Q&A session - YouTube
In April 2001, I wrote and published my first C# program. Join me in discovering the most valuable principles that I've learned in the 20 years of C# programming that followed. We'll cover a range of topics, with plenty of samples and useful code that you can take away.

In this post, we’ll look at how we can use one of the most popular libraries, React, to build a foldable web experience. 

Developers familiar with the Angular 1.X will encounter a drastically different looking framework and will need to learn a new architecture.

Today, we are releasing .NET 5.0 Preview 8. The .NET 5.0 release is now “feature complete”, meaning that very nearly all features are in their final form (with the exception of bug fixes still to come). Preview 8 is, appropriately, the last preview. We plan on releasing two go-live release candidates before the final .NET 5.0 release in November. This post describes a selection of features across the .NET 5.0 release. 

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to setup and install ASP.NET Core 2.1 on Linux. I did it for the first time in 15 minutes with no previous experience with .NET Core on Linux. I did it the second time, in production, in 5 minutes by following these instructions.

In this article, I show you how to install the .NET Core runtime on CentOS, how to get a sample ASP.NET Core project running on Kestrel as a service for reliability, and how to configure both the code and the firewall to enable remote access. Finally, I discuss what I would do differently for actual production usage.
