G'day Developers!
What's new in Visual Studio 2015 and ALM 2015
I'm off to Europe for the Norwegian Developers Conference in Oslo and the Xamarin Hack Day in Slovenia. Of course I'll be talking about Visual Studio 2015 and all things mobile. At SSW we've been using Visual Studio 2015 on a few projects and it's a bigger change than I expected.
Thanks to a new/refreshing/cool/awesome change of attitude from Microsoft, we see them embrace the winning tools (AngularJS, Bower, Grunt, NPM, etc.) in the web development space, and now they are just built into the next version of Visual Studio.
The open sourcing of .NET Core 5 and ASP.NET 5, along with the release of the free Visual Studio Community Edition and the upcoming release of Windows 10 for all devices, makes for some very exciting times ahead.
Keep reading to find out what I love most about Visual Studio 2015

(Model, View, ViewModel). You will learn the very basics of what MVVM is and be taken through how implement it into your mobile application.
David will start by building an app with standard event handlers on buttons, then take it through the evolution of implementing MVVM into the application

Xamarin.Forms will be demonstrated to show how you can define your UI once, and have your app have a native look and feel on all devices automatically.
