Just released the .NET MAUI eBook at

[Michael Stonis @MichaelStonis]

My book Enterprise Application Patterns using .NET MAUI is now available! Lots of info to help you start building apps on the right path.

It can be dowloaded from https://t.co/AYumrTFUhc

The best part is that it comes at the low, low price of FREE!

y'all got any of those MAI models or tips to enable them? We still don't have them available to enable in GitHub and are about to hit a brick wall

[Michael Stonis @MichaelStonis]

@DanJSiegel @GitHubCopilot Hermes you say? I will investigate. How is performance? I've been running gemma4 on my MacBook and it is kinda slow. I might need to invest in something beefier.

[Michael Stonis @MichaelStonis]

I don't think my team is going to make it to July at this rate. We are about 5 working days into the month and already through a 66% of our credits... I think we will need to put @GitHubCopilot on a diet or look for alternatives

[Michael Stonis @MichaelStonis]

@elbruno @GitHubCopilot I appreciate it. My team is pretty well optimized with skills, instructions, model selection, etc. This is a great write-up tho!

I just think we were working like we were last month and it isn't tenable anymore.

Frank is a legend for so many reasons. If you are into travel or motorcycles, this is worth a follow.

I got a demo of this and it is pretty slick. Having a fully running AND editable app in moments is kind of wild.

Catch me at #MicrosoftBuild this Wednesday!

What we learned shipping VS Code weekly (10:15AM) - To be successful with AI, you must also evolve how your team works. We dive into what we learned running an AI native engineering team on the world's largest editor.

Multi-agent patterns for VS Code (11:30AM) - The team shares different styles scaling yourself from one to multiple agents in VS Code.

I'll be hanging out at 'The Terminal' area all week. Come say hi!

[Michael Stonis @MichaelStonis]

I've made it to #MSBuild. Time to see what is happening in the world of AI...

I was just looking for a cover for my solo stove, not a way to prevent Martian colonialism.

Where are all my "You can't build a UI in code... It is either XAML or GTFO" people? I am sure you will love this

@wieslawsoltes this is really cool.

[Wiesław Šoltés @wieslawsoltes]

Motion mark animation running 10000 paths at 120FPS and 100000 paths at 30 FPS while benchmarking my GPU-first UI infrastructure for .NET that includes renderer, scene graph, vector engine, WebGPU backend. Demo is using stock drawing context api similar to WinUI !
