Details

Please take note of the topic and location change:

This month we are excited to finally explore the latest Xamarin.Forms 3 features with this month's topic: "What's New in Xamarin.Forms 3: I think you are going to need a bigger box". Now, I have always been impressed with how much Xamarin.Forms brings to the table right out of the box. With Xamarin.Forms 3, that box has gotten much bigger. This month we are going to review and discuss each of these new features as well as touch upon 2 new invaluable areas: Xamarin.Essentials and Xamarin.Shell. For those who may not be aware of just how much has been added since Xamarin.Forms 3.0, below are some of the areas we will be covering:

Xamarin.Forms 3.0
FlexLayout - ResourceDictionary Improvements - Right to Left Support - Cascading Style StyleSheets - Visual State Manager

Xamarin.Forms 3.1
Android Bottom Tabs and Tab styling options - Auto-Resize Editor - Entry AutoCapitalization and Return key settings - Vertical and Horizontal scrollbar options - Text prediction enable/disable

Xamarin.Forms 3.2
BoxView Corner Radius - Button Padding - Editor Placeholder and Placeholder Color - [iOS] Entry: Position and Color of Caret - Label Line Height - OnPlatform/OnIdiom Markup Extensions - Span Gestures
Swipe Gesture Recognizer - [iOS] Tap Slider- TitleView

Xamarin.Forms 3.3
Label & Span Text Decorations: Underline and Strikethrough - Label MaxLines - [iOS] Modal Presentation Model - [iOS] WebView now uses WKWebView

Xamarin.Forms Shell
Xamarin.Forms Shell is a new spec which aims to provide a simple and straightforward way for new developers to get a complete app experience that is properly structured, uses the right elements, with very little effort and a clear path to being good by default.
