A lot has happened since I last hosted a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) nearly two years ago.

Our team launched Visual Studio for Mac in late 2016 and released it the following May. Shortly thereafter, we introduced live coding of mobile apps with .NET code with our Live Player. We made it easy to embed .NET into native applications with .NET Embedding and we have been working with Unity to deliver a great experience to their users. We completed Mono ports to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, made great progress in unifying Mono and .NET Core, shipped a prototype to run .NET in WebAssembly and brought CSS and Flex layout to Xamarin.Forms.

Note: the following short link will be updated once the Reddit AMA post is live. Please join me in our Ask Me Anything with Miguel de Icaza on March 2, 12 – 2 PM Pacific Time.

I look forward to answering the questions on what we have done, how we have done it and what we think about the future of mobile development in a Reddit AMA this Friday.
