April Topic - RestBuilder: How to Tame HttpClient….Fluently

Do you have dozens of HttpClient calls in your mobile app?
Are they all implemented similarly, but different enough to cause you headaches?
Are they as simple as you’d like?
Do you know how fast they each run?
Do they inconsistently handle Success, Failure and Exception outcomes, or skip them entirely?

Would you like to have a framework around HttpClient calls that simplifies all of the above?

RestBuilder is a wrapper around HttpClient that was created to simplify RESTful calls while simultaneously making them more powerful and consistent in their usage. RestBuilder uses a fluent-style syntax (inspired by Polly) to reduce a complex code patterns around HttpClient calls into a simple call that is both simple and quick to implement and also flexible and extendable.

Xamarin Forms: Creating Controls, Renderers and Effects for UI Reuse

Being a Xamarin developer, one of our main goals is to be able to share as much code as possible between our applications. We often forget that we are also able to share a lot of our UI code, not only within our application, but also across all of our projects. One of the best ways to reuse UI code is through the use of Custom Controls, Effects and Custom Renderers.
In this session we’ll discuss some of the benefits of controls, renderers and effects, when to use each of them, and then dive straight in to a hands on live coding session where we’ll learn how to create controls, renderers and effects with bindable properties for some great customisation.
