The Best of dotnetConf 2016 for Mobile Developers

Pierce Boggan
Senior Program Manager

This year’s dotNetConf, a worldwide virtual .NET conference, was the biggest and best yet! dotNetConf ran for three full days of free amazing content for all .NET developers. Each day provided something unique, and started with a full day of ASP.NET, a full day of mobile and IoT, and wrapped up with a full community day. All of the videos are available right now to stream on Channel9, but for mobile C# developers we have highlighted the the top sessions you should watch, starting with Miguel de Icaza’s Day 2 keynote.  

Xamarin developer evangelist James Montemagno followed Miguel up by giving a complete walkthrough of the Xamarin platform to build native iOS, Android, and Windows apps in C# that combined Microsoft Cognitive Services and Plugins for Xamarin for a great demo!  

Nina Vyedin, Product Manager at Xamarin, wrapped up Day 2 by highlighting some amazing new features in Xamarin.Forms to help developers do more with less.  

So Much More!

The Xamarin goodness didn’t stop there as Microsoft’s Adrian Hall walked through setting up Azure Mobile Apps with Xamarin apps, and Xamarin MVP Greg Shackles tackled real world monitoring for your mobile apps in the wild. Be sure to check out all of the other great sessions at dotnetConf 2016 and be on the lookout for the all new in person event, dotnetConf.local, coming to a city near you soon. Head over to dotnetConf.net for all the details.
