In my mind it s a good news for the futur evolution of the technology, however we can ask ourself about the futur development and pricing strategies... Hope it will be more accessible, at less in term of pricing, than the actual version !

What do you think ?

EMGU with Xamarin Forms guide [part 1]

I- Introduction, OpenCV and EMGU Do you know OpenCV ( Open Source Computer Vision Library:  https://opencv.org/ ) ?  This open source library let's you work and play with images and videos with a lot of powerful image processing algorithms !  If you want some details, I suggest you to first navigate to the link above or search for 'OpenCV' on Google.  Examples of OpenCV processing found on the web (filters, object detection, edges...): EMGU is a .NET OpenCV wrapper. That means that you will be able to use OpenCV functionnalities in your .NET projects using C# for instance. EMGU is cross platform, so you will also be able to use it in your Xamarin projects ! That's great because there is no advanced image processing library in Xamarin. In this article, we will talk about EMGU and list the steps to setup a Xamarin Forms project using EMGU . It may help you because, we must say that it's not a trivial task...  II-What do I need to

Custom entry with renderers For my Xamarin Forms project I needed to render an 'Entry' control with a bottom border of a specific color. There are several possibilities but I will show you mine. For that, I used renderers. iOS one is particularly not trivial. The wished result look like that: iOS Renderer [assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(ExtDatePicker), typeof(ExtDatePickerRenderer))] namespace MyCompany.iOS.Renderers { public class ExtDatePickerRenderer : DatePickerRenderer { protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<DatePicker> e) { base.OnElementChanged(e); // Need to connect to Sizechanged event because first render time, Entry has no size (-1). if (e.NewElement != null) e.NewElement.SizeChanged += (obj, args) => { var xamEl = obj as DatePicker; if (xamEl == null) ret

This post is made for those (like me) who like image processing , web development and maybe, for those who want to learn new programming technics ... - I will make you discover p5.js , a javascript library specialized in graphical creation for your web browser ! - I will also talk about the the Youtube channel "The Coding Train" presented by Daniel Shiffman. A lot of its videos are based on P5.js. It was for me a great source of inspiration and made me discover javascript (because I'm a newbie with JS...) So I'm pretty sure, you will learn a lot too... - Finally I will present you my personnal example of what I did with P5.js. It's about an old retro fire effect (used in demoscene few years ago) :) So let's begin with p5.js ! I- What is P5.js ? a- Presentation As I mentionned it previously, P5.js is a graphical Javascript library. With it, you will be able to make great effects in your web pages in a few minutes.  This lib
