A portable and maintainable codebase is important, especially in large-scale and cross-platform .NET implementations. On XAML-based platforms, such as Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Universal Windows Platform (UWP), Xamarin Forms, and AvaloniaUI you can achieve maintainability goals by implementing the MVVM pattern.
MVVM stands for Model-View-ViewModel, where Model represents services, data…
Avalonia is a novel XAML UI framework, allowing .NET developers to deliver cross-platform .NET Core desktop applications for end-users. Inspired by Microsoft stack technologies, such as Xamarin Forms, Windows Presentation Framework, and Universal Windows Platform, Avalonia provides fully-featured means of building high-performant user interfaces of any complexity and any scale…
With the initial release of .NET Core, we can now build cross-platform .NET applications using not only Windows, but also macOS, Ubuntu, and other Linux distros. As a full-stack developer who is pretty excited about the evolution of the .NET ecosystem, I use a laptop with Ubuntu and Windows in…
Imagine you are a C# programmer designing API of a tiny search engine. The engine is really simple — it searches for goods in a database using a query string provided by a user. …
Telegram is a secure instant messaging service providing a platform that allows creating bots — the Telegram Bot API. A Bot is a Telegram account operated by software. There are Bot API implementations for almost every popular programming language, including Python, JavaScript, and C#. Funogram is a strictly typed Telegram…
In the previous article, we took a look at several ways of implementing the MVVM pattern on the .NET platform. We found out, that the simplest approach is to use assembly weaving with reactive bindings and extensions. Now we are going to build a sample application using these techniques. …
