G'day everyone, welcome to issue #331 of Weekly Xamarin - a weekly overview of what happened this past week in the Xamarin and MAUI communities.

This week we are still going through recaps of .NET Conf, which is understandable given of all the amazing content. There are also some interesting community standups to catchup with.

Monkey Conf 2021 Sessions

Monkey Conf is a .NET related event, the biggest held in Spain. Even though the event is oriented to .NET, all the talks were about mobile: Xamarin and .NET MAUI. Most of the talks are in Spanish, but the content is great, so if you don't speak Spanish flick on those translations.

.NET MAUI: Customize Controls with Handlers and Mappers

Customizing controls has become a lot easier with .NET MAUI if we compare to Xamarin.Forms. No more custom renderers, just a few lines of code (either PrependToMapper, ModifyMapper or AppendToMapper) to our handlers and mappers and we're good to go. In this video I will show you the (updated) code on how to do just that and show you how we customize the Entry on Android to remove the underline.
