Woohoo. @mauiday is underway.
The dynamic duo of @maddymontaquila and @jfversluis are back together, and kicking off the day.
Mayhem is sure to follow 🤪
Keynoting the day is @jfversluis.
New tooling. New controls. New capabilities. Less XAML. Less hassle.
The future is bright for #dotnetmaui 🙌
In Köln to find out everything there is to know about GitHub Copilot, and get a taste of Copilot beyond the code.
Great talk from @jkordick1337 around the CoPilot app.
Loved seeing that som much of the functionality I use in other apps is now within the MS stack.
Lots to explore after this 🙌

A spinner tells your users nothing. A skeleton shows them what’s coming. 💀
Skeleton 3.0 for .NET MAUI is here, our open source loading library with 600K+ downloads and 450+ stars on GitHub.

See you there?
.@mauiday Cologne is coming up on October 23: a free, in-person day for all things .NET MAUI.
If Cologne's on your map, take a look at the event details: mauiday.net/cologne/
Loved stepping back onto the @PlymUni campus to talk to Computing students.
Hopefully, the cheat codes I gave them for the start up module will pay off, and that @Azure makes their deployments just that little bit smoother! 🤞

I haven’t written a meaningful line of code myself in a year. Still a software engineer though. I promise. 😅
I talked about that at @what_the_stack, and how AI changed the way I work. Such a fun event, great vibe, and amazing people!

Please tell us about your .NET MAUI development experience!
Your feedback is super valuable to us and we'd appreciate it if you could take some time out of your day to fill this out and let us know how we're doing 🫶

It took me a bit of time to make sense of everything around @what_the_stack 2026. My point of view of the event and things to come in 2027:

Want native context menus in your .NET MAUI app?
Plugin.Maui.NativeContextMenus brings them to iOS and Android, with support for long presses, commands, icons and XAML configuration.
A handy little plugin worth knowing about.

For those of you who missed the announcement during the conference: after nine years, React Alicante is becoming Frontier Alicante. 😊
The reason is simple. We want to keep doing what we set out to do in 2017: bring together people interested in what is happening at the frontier of software development.
React Alicante was the perfect name for that community when we started, since React was something new, exciting, and very promising. Today, React is a fully established technology. In many senses, we can say that React won: many of the things we see today are, in some way, descendants of React.
We feel that it is time for us to evolve in order to remain the same. We want the name of the conference to encompass anything that could be of interest to software engineers who want to keep up with the state of the art of software development. At the same time, we are keeping the same spirit, the same community, and the same way of doing things. The name changes, everything else remains.
🎟️To celebrate the announcement, we are releasing the first 50 tickets at our lowest price. (Only 20 left, scan the QR👇and grab yours!)
Thank you everyone that took part in React Alicante 2026. ❤️ See you next year!
