Final Chapter: Continuous Mobile Deployment with VSTS

In the final installment of my Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment series we’ll tackle the real wrench in the system: iOS.

Continuous Mobile Deployment with VSTS – Part 2

In my last post we talked about setting up CI & CD for your Xamarin.Android project. Let’s continue on with our cross-platform story today by targeting Windows 10.

eXtreme Agile: Continuous Mobile Deployment with VSTS

If you’ve followed .Netitude for a while, you definitely know I’m a fan of Continuous Integration. But what about Continuous Deployment?

Your UWP Push Notifications are now Toast

I recently pushed an update to the UWP I’ve published to the store at work. After installing the app on my 10581 Windows 10 device and using it all weekend, I was dismayed to see when I received a push notification the app didn’t do what it was supposed to do. I dove in.

Static Grid, Dynamic Content

On a recent project, we wanted to lay out some dynamic content in a very specific way, and have that repeat a la the USA Today app for Windows 10. The main challenge facing us when doing this is that Grid isn’t an ‘ItemsControl’ and therefore can’t be bound to a collection of data. So… Read More »
