Hello all. After taking a bit of a break, we are starting things back up again with a presentation on the new features in Xamarin.Forms 4.0, 4.1 and future direction. Moving forward, we look forward to scheduling upcoming meetings with great topics, great speakers, good opportunities to network and the very active participation by our group members. We look forward to seeing you next week.

Please make a note that this first meeting is on the 1st Tuesday of August instead of the 2nd Tuesday that we normally hold our meetings on.

Meeting Details:
In this meeting, David Silverlight is going to review how the latest features and enhancements in Xamarin.Forms 4.0 and 4.1 and what's coming up in the future.

We are going to start by looking at some of what version 4.0 brings to the table, including:

• Fast renderers
• ImageSource improvements
• New Accessibility features
• Visual
• Shell
• CollectionViews, GridViews and the new CarouselView

For version 4.1, we are going to take a look at:

Last we are going to take a sneak peak at the new XAML Hot Reload feature and discuss what lies ahead

Xamarin.Forms 4.0+ is really giving us some great tools and Shell is definitely a game changer. This event will cover some great topics that can improve the ways that we are currently developing mobile apps.
