I've a reasonable amount of C# codebase I'd like to leverage into mobile, and Xamarin looks like it should be a good way to do that. If it doesn't work, then at least I get a familiarity with some of the Android application way of doing things without having to learn Java.
If it does work, then a large chunk of my .NET experience can carry over instead of having to work out how the Java / Android framework operates.
And in theory, I get iOS and UWP thrown in, which might be useful one day!

Me too. But even if I didn't, I doubt I could go back to using Android Studio and Java to build Android apps.

That's one small step for a man, one small crawl for mankind.

Isn't Android fun? I'm having a blast porting a large C# Win desktop app to Android!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I was originally sent this as an image[^] that looks like it was a picture of a poster. Unfortunately I can't find anything other than that image itself, which is a pity because I'd love to have it framed in my cube.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's because FORTRAN is the only completely perfect language.

Happy now?

Hi All,
My main machine got upraided to Win 10 from Win 8 (which was a blessing!), I needed to scan my Passport (Don't ask). Plugged in the USB connection got the ding of connection went to my favoured scanning program, didn't work, tried the next, and so on until I got to M$ photo editor which Winged about TWAIN not being upto date, I found Microsoft Office Document Scanning while this is not a user friendly application it worked meaning that it is compatible with Win 10.
A brief google TWAIN appears to have binned by M$, so whats easy to use and free, I will have a look at Gimp to see if I can scan with it...

Got it, Downloaded it, Installed it, Go to file Aquire -> Camera and Scanner is greyed out! 
Looks like I ought to have more of a play!

I have to enjoy your Win10 delights vicariously.
I'd rather float the box in salt water than upgrade past Win7.

Probably not, but I suspect it gets you on some watch list...

The HP "All-In-One" I have has a scan to computer option when the drivers are installed, I have Windows 10 too and it works great.
Select scan to PC on the device's UI and it magically appears on the PC monitor.
It depends on which scanner you have though.
