Playing around with neumorphism in Xamarin.Forms
Neumorphism (or neuomorphism) might be a word you’ve never heard before. If that’s the case, then this is the blog post for you! Steven does a great job of explaining what it is, how you might apply it and more importantly, reasons why you might not want to!

DEVOPS
Add nightly builds to your Xamarin applications using Azure DevOps
The phrase "Little and often" definitely applies to things like DevOps. The longer you leave it, the bigger the task of merging/building. Damien shows you how to set up nightly builds so you can ensure regular builds of your app without affecting anyone on the team (because hopefully they are not working!)

TOOLS
MVU For Native Xamarin Apps
While Fabulous provides a great way to build Xamarin.Forms apps with F# and The Elm Architecture, there has been no such opportunity for Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android. Yet. Here it comes.
IOS
Binding iOS Swift Libraries with Xamarin!
Binding of libraries is very important when it comes to making non-Xamarin libraries available to use as cross-platform components. It has been documented for many years now how to achieve this with Objective-C for your iOS apps. But now Swift is the standard for native iOS development, how do you achieve the same binding goodness?

Braintree integration in Xamarin Forms (Part.3 )
This is Part 3 in a series from Rendy aka XamBoy. In this post you will learn how to take Paypal payments from your app. This is definitely useful as so many users (myself included) will choose Paypal over any other options for paying, just for the security and peace of mind.

Using Custom Renderers In Xamarin.Forms
Creating a compelling user interface is a must when it comes to mobile development. What works for iOS may not be acceptable in Android and vice versa. In order to accommodate the various platform expectations, we must be able to customize and create controls as needed. Renderers allows us this flexibility.
Bindable Layout Support Now Built-in With Xamarin.Forms
When you need to display a lot of data Xamarin.Forms has you covered with awesome controls such as ListView, CollectionView, or CarouselView. These controls are great as they have built in support for scrolling, advanced layouts, and pull-to-refresh. Sometimes, you don’t need the full power of these controls and just want to repeat a control bound to a list of data. A great example is repeating categories for a conference session, profile photos, or icons. This can easily be accomplished by utilizing Bindable Layouts in Xamarin.Forms.
