Documentation, Testing, and the Future of Software Development
There's probably nothing most developers like less than writing documentation and tests. Despite good and bad reasons for this, the growth of AI and the changing landscape of software development mean they are becoming increasingly indispensable for developers aiming to build high-quality, reliable, and scalable software.
What you should consider as "documentation" and "testing" will also surprise you as it covers much more than you think.
Through real-world examples and practical insights, this session highlights how investing in documentation and testing streamlines collaboration, enhances efficiency, improves software reliability, and ultimately leads to more satisfied developers, users, and businesses.
Creating maintainable UIs for cross-platform apps
Avalonia, Uno Platform, & .NET MAUI make it easy to build native apps that run on multiple devices and operating systems. However, the XAML used to define the UI for these apps is often criticized and complained about for being overly complex.
This doesn't have to be the case. Let me show you how the principles and best practices you know and use in C# can also be applied to XAML. Doing this makes XAML files easier to read, understand, and maintain.
You won't believe that XAML files can look so good and be a pleasure to work with.
