Show notes

It has been said that if a feature has not been documented, than it might as well not exist. It could not be more true from our findings and this week we finally take a look at all things documentation! We also get to your listener feedback and debate the future of progressive web apps, async/await, and a whole lot more. In addition to all of this AWESOME it has been officially been 1 full year of Merge Conflict! Thank you so much to our amazing listeners! <3

Merge Conflict 52: Bug Fixes and Improvements Jul 03, 2017

Show notes

Will Frank ever update his apps in the app store? When, how, and what should go into that super important app update that your users are expecting? We investigate what has changed for us and the app stores in the last year. How about open source projects and libraries? Do these fall into the same criteria of an "app release"? We also take a look at how Apple, Google, and awesome CI services have helped us be more successful.

Merge Conflict 49: The Magic of MVVM Jun 12, 2017

Show notes

We are back to talk architecture with MVVM, that is right Model-View-ViewModel, and all of the awesome stuff that comes along for the ride with the fantastic frameworks available. Before we talk about those frameworks, we go through why we love MVVM itself, what it is, how to use it, and why it is not just data binding. We take a look at popular frameworks and how to use MVVM with no framework at all. So sit back and get ready for architecture!

Merge Conflict 48: Frank Mocks Interfaces Jun 05, 2017

Show notes

To create design time data or not to create design time data, that is the question? Or is it better to mock out all of your interfaces or say heck let's code straight to the API end points? When you are developing a large project and desire the "blendability", what approach is best to take, and what works well with design time tools like Blend and the Xamarin Live Player? We discuss all this and more on this week's episode.
