My kids still can't believe that anyone fell for it. They kept saying "that's Barry and Stewart. How come no one recognises them?"

As this was shot and shown in the UK originally, you'd have more chance of knowing them if you were from this side of the pond. They have appeared on prime-time TV over here.

Penn disgusts me.
Their magic is nice though.
OK, back to work now.

Posting this in the Lounge because my informal research shows it gets more views than Insider News[^].
Xamarin has announced that their free Starter Edition[^] will now be usable from within Visual Studio. I think this is likely to draw more VS devs to Xamarin, even though the Starter Edition doesn't support Xamarin Forms. See this[^] blog entry.

FWIW, I'm a big fan of Insider News, and especially your comments. They're tres cool!

If everyone thought the same way then everyone would post their content here and it would quickly degenerate into chaos.

The Xamarin Starter Edition has always worked with Visual Studio. I was using it over a year ago before getting the paid version.

See "Activating a Trial in Xamarin Studio" on this[^] page which states "with the Starter Edition, you can use Xamarin to build and debug small apps (up to 128k), and even deploy them to your device for testing. However, if you want to try out the full power of Xamarin, including Xamarin.Forms and full Visual Studio support, you have the option of a free 30-day trial of Xamarin Business Edition for any of our products."

I downloaded the Starter Edition around October 2013 and that version came with VS support. You couldn't build full apps (you were limited) but you could build and deploy your apps to either an emulator or physical device.

Ah. I think they changed their configuration with the introduction of Xamarin Studio, which was intended to support the Starter and Indie versions.

So Visual Studio Community Edition with Xamarin Starter Edition and you have a platform for nice Android/iOS development using your .NET skills...I think I will try it...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I haven't looked yet, but this does look like a nice intro. Not having forms, though, is a major fail point for me. There is light at the end of this tunnel though: a new client asked me yesterday if I had Xamarin experience, giving me the idea that if I can demonstrate basic competence, I may get to do Xamarin dev for them, on their license.

We've teamed up with a company just outside of Toronto to get us a more reliable supply of T-shirts. The current CafePress T-shirts just aren't cutting the mustard so these guys have stepped up to print us some decent threads and get them shipped in a sensible time. Plus we've managed to get the cost down significantly (with a goal to getting it down further).
If you're interested in a T-shirt while also being a guinea pig for the new store, you're welcome to give the CodeProject T-shirt store[^] a burl.
If you have any problems, find bugs, or have suggestions for CodeProject stuff you'd like to buy, yell loudly[^]. I did warn the guys that putting together site for 11M highly trained (or thereabouts) software developers was something only the brave do. They forged ahead regardless.
cheers
