Learning Xamarin.Forms – Part 5: ListView

Posted on July 26, 2017 by Jesse Liberty

In Part 4 of this series we created a new Master/Detail project.  In this part, we’re going to zero in on one view on one page… but what a view it is!

This series is based on my  Pluralsight Course: Building Your First Mobile Application with Xamarin.Forms and Visual Studio 2017

ListView

Azure For Developers – Part 2: Your First App Service

Posted on July 20, 2017 by Jesse Liberty

This is part 2 of an ongoing series on Azure for Developers, based on a set of forthcoming videos from LinkedIn Learning

In Part 1 of this series, we began to look at some of the ways to “chunk” the various parts of Azure, and focused in on PaaS (Platform as a Service).  Let’s get started on our first App Service.

Open the Portal and log in as described in Part 1.  On the left, click App Services.  At the moment, you don’t have any, so click Create App Service.  This opens a long menu of App Services.  Scroll through and see what is available.

Click on ASP.NET Starter.  That brings up a review “blade.”  click  Create  This will bring up the ASP.NET Starter Web App blade, where you can configure your starter app.  Fill in a name.  To avoid conflicts I typically begin my application names with a couple letters followed by a dash, followed by the name.  For example, here I might use jl-firstApp.
