(Not so) Fun fact: I first learnt how to use Xamarin from a book he wrote. It wasn't very good (not unlike Microsoft documentation). He started out just having everything in MainPage, then switched to having separate classes (like MVVM stuff), but didn't point out he had made this switch! The code snippets didn't reflect that this was actually now in a different class! Wait what?? Wait what?? Why is none of this working?! 😂 There was a later chapter about MVVM, but he had switched styles BEFORE that chapter. So when he talks about top-down and bottom-up, well, his book was an explode in the middle approach! 😂

Couldn't find 2 hidden communities? I guess it's working then! 😂
Why post something that isn’t even out for another 10 days?
Because some might want to watch it live and participate in the chat.
I do agree that per dev is such a weird way to do licensing.
Related - I was teaching at a school where I wanted them to get some plagiarism tool. The charge was per student. It was a newish school with a lot of growth, and another new school was still being built nearby (not being put into service for another year or two), so the school had A LOT of students (nearly 2 school's worth), so, they couldn't afford it. I ended up having to manually copy some of my student's code and then Google it to see if they had copied it from anywhere (and yes, some of them had. BTW the most hilarious poor effort at trying to cheat was one who's code not only didn't even compile, but they hadn't even bothered changing the Imperial measurements to Metric! Didn't even need to Google that one - here's your letter to parents 😂).

Um, ok. That's weird, because the blog post is from just last week
