Learn WinUI 3.0 - My New Book to be Published Fall 2020

Hello WinUI developers!

I want to update you on my WinUI focus for 2020. Most of my spare time this year is going to be spent on my new WinUI side project. I am writing a book for Packt Publishing titled Learn WinUI 3.0. The book is due out this fall. That will hopefully coincide with a final or near-final release of WinUI 3.0.

As I am working on the book, I plan to blog about my experience with WinUI 3.0 through its preview and beta stages this year. If you would like to follow along, I encourage you to subscribe to this blog. I will occasionally cross-post or create summary blog posts on my UWP Tips blog to catch up with my UWP Tips followers. Your best bet to stay informed is to subscribe to both blogs (and WPF Tips, while you're at it).

I am well underway with the first chapter and plan to blog this week about my experience setting up the WinUI 3.0 preview and creating my first project. Spoiler Alert: No issues encountered yet.

I'm looking forward to engaging the Windows developer community this year, and I expect to spend a fair amount of time harassing the WinUI team. If you have any suggestions for the book or things you would like to learn more about, don't hesitate to drop me a line on Twitter or LinkedIn.

Thanks for reading!

.NET Core Book Review on Morning Dew

Hello WinUI developers!

I just published a book review on my Morning Dew blog that may be of interest to my readers here. C# 8.0 and .NET Core 3.0 - Modern Cross-Platform Development is a new title by Mark Price from Packt Publishing. While it covers a broad range of .NET Core topics, there are chapters on both Xamarin and Windows Desktop application development.

Go check it out here!
