In today’s rapidly evolving software development landscape, staying current with your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) isn't just advantageous—it’s essential. This book will guide readers through everything they need to know about Microsoft’s next major release, the next-generation Visual Studio 2026, and its transition to a transformative monthly release cadence.This will be the first practical book covering Visual Studio’s new yearly release cadence and the transformative Dev18 (Visual Studio 2026) features. As developers adapt to more frequent updates and AI-powered capabilities, they need a trusted, comprehensive guide—not just release notes—to help them navigate what’s new, what’s changed, and how to stay productive. Unlike generic IDE guides, this book dives deeply into the new AI integrations (such as Copilot “Bring Your Own Model,” Agent Mode, and MCP-based extensions) with step-by-step examples. Readers will not only learn what these tools do but also how to apply them effectively in their day-to-day workflows, gaining a competitive edge in coding speed and quality. With Visual Studio 2022 nearing end-of-support in 2026 and .NET 9/10 aligning with this transition, this book equips developers, students, and professionals to future-proof their skills. By teaching best practices for migration, extension compatibility, and embracing the monthly update cycle, it becomes an indispensable resource for teams preparing to modernize their development environments. What You Will LearnNavigate the new Visual Studio release cadence – Understand how the yearly major release and monthly updates impact development workflows, and adopt strategies for staying current without disruption.Master the refreshed UI and customization options – Leverage new theming, layout flexibility, and productivity-enhancing features to tailor Visual Studio to individual or team needs.Harness AI-powered development tools – Use Copilot integrations, “Bring Your Own Model” setups, and Agent Mode to accelerate coding, refactoring, testing, and project management.Ensure smooth migrations from Visual Studio 2022 and earlier – Upgrade projects, validate extension compatibility, and take advantage of backward-compatible extensions with minimal friction.Boost performance and efficiency in large projects – Apply best practices for working with the performance improvements and responsiveness enhancements in Visual Studio Next.Integrate Visual Studio with the modern .NET ecosystem – Develop and debug applications across .NET 9, .NET 10, MAUI, Blazor, cloud-native, and AI-driven applications with confidence.Future-proof their development environments – Prepare themselves and their teams for ongoing incremental innovation, ensuring they can quickly adopt new features as they are released.Who This Book is ForThis book is written for professional developers and advanced hobbyists who are already familiar with Visual Studio 2022 (or earlier versions) and want to quickly adopt Visual Studio 2026 and its new features. These readers are comfortable with C#, .NET, and general software development concepts.

Learn everything you need to set up a full-featured, automated pipeline for Xamarin development and deployment. Automate everything from the build step through to deployment and delivery to your customer. If you thought this level of automation could be achieved only by large companies with generous funding, think again! You as a single developer, or working in a small team or company, can automate your processes to punch heavier than your weight. What’s more, you can achieve this level of automation completely for free!This hands-on guide takes you step-by-step from setting up your first automated build all the way to integrated unit testing, and finally through to delivering a high-quality app to your testers and end users. The automation presented in this book saves a lot of frustration and recurring work, providing you more time to focus on building the robust and compelling apps that delight your customers and keep you steps ahead of the competition.Not only does this book teach how to get a grip on consistent quality, but it covers the use of HockeyApp to track events and usage, and to report errors and anomalies back to home base for developers to investigate. Many times it’s possible to detect and fix errors before a user even notices they are there.This book:Teaches the necessity of an automated development pipelineHelps you set up an automated pipeline for Xamarin developmentIntegrates testing (on physical devices!) to ensure high-quality appsWhat You'll LearnWhy you want an automated development pipelineObtain and configure the automated toolingContinuously integrate your appsRun automated unit testsPush updates to your customersMonitor and detect errors without user interventionWho This BookIs ForApp developers looking for ways to ensure consistent quality of work and wanting to know how their apps are doing in actual use by customers

Learn the bare essentials needed to begin developing cross-platform, mobile apps using Xamarin.Forms. Apps can be easily deployed to Google Play or to the Apple App Store. You will gain insight on architecture and how to arrange your app's design, where to begin developing, what pitfalls exist, and how to avoid them. Also covered are expected new features in Xamarin.Forms 3.0, so you may be prepared ahead of time for what the next release brings. Xamarin.Forms Essentials provides a brief history of Xamarin as a company, including how their product has become one of the most-used, cross-platform technologies for enterprise applications and app development across the world. Examples in the book are built around a real-life example that is an actual app in Google Play and in the Apple App Store, and has thousands of downloads between iOS and Android. You will learn how an application is set up from scratch, and you will benefit from the author's hard-won experience and tips in addressing various development challenges. What You'll LearnCreate cross-platform user interfaces from one code base for both iOS and AndroidSee how a commercial application is built and then deployed for sale in the app storesIntegrate your Xamarin.Forms applications with third-party, RESTful APIsArrange application architecture to avoid pitfalls and optimize your designGet a heads-up on new features released as part of Xamarin.Forms 3.0Choose appropriately between Xamarin.Forms and traditional Xamarin, depending upon your application needs and its goalsWho This Book Is ForMobile app developers who are producing software for multiple platforms, including Google Android and Apple iOS. Readers should be familiar with Visual Studio either on Mac OS X or Windows, and have a working knowledge of C#.
