A simple developer's journey

If as me, you don't really understand all subtleties between .NET Core and .NET Standard , I suggest you to have a look at the following article. It explains some history about .NET Framework and how .NET Standard is born. >>  Xamarin blog: A brief history of .NET Standard Which version to use ? For me, an important point to master for my own projects, is to know which platforms I can reach with a specific .NET Standard or .NET Core library. The following table illustrate the compatibility between each .NET implementation: For instance, - if you build a Xamarin Android v. 7.0 application, you could use versions 1.0 up to 1.6 .NET Standard librairies into your project - or if you have a .NET Standard v. 1.4 library, you could only build Android  v. 7.0  applications ( not v. 8.0) Intersting References about .NET Standard: Xamarin blog: A brief history of .NET Standard .NET Standard official website .NET Standard, table version video

New 'Xamarin' menu available If you are a Xamarin developer, you will be happy to know that the "full" Xamarin Platform's documentation is now available on microsoft.com website.  This website looks really clear , so it should be easy to find what you need... Microsoft documentation portal:   https://docs.microsoft.com If you select the "Xamarin" menu, you will be redirected to the following page: This is the entry point to many chapters describing the platform like: - technical / language documentation - UI (with XAML) documentation but you will also find: - deployement tutorials - mobile continuous delivery tutorials - data / database articles - code samples - and so much more ! So let's go coding Xamarin !

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
