Understanding the time complexity of a function in code is the mark of a great programmer. We don’t measure the time complexity of an algorithm in actual time, but we measure the number of operations it takes to complete. We want to know how many iterations the function could potentially execute at it’s max. This …
In order to make changes to code files from our pipeline, sometimes we have to create a bash script. A pipeline can use a bash script to edit files before the files are compiled into an application. I used an Azure DevOps pipeline in this example but the bash script task can be applied to …
To create a rapidly scaling mobile solution you will need to enable continuous delivery & continuous integration. The goal is to fully automate a build that kicks off every time a change is merged in, then ship the build to testers. Azure DevOps will trigger builds that initiate when changes a checked into a targeted …
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a scrollable line-chart, scrollable bar-chart, and a pie chart using .NET MAUI Graphics. There is also a link to a Xamarin.Forms implementation using SkiaSharp for curious developers still using Xamarin, which at this time I assume is many of you. Creating these charts is a great …
There are now two main operating systems that have dominated the mobile space, Android & iOS.

Have you ever wondered how apps like Snapchat work? In this article you will learn how to create a Xamarin app that can detect faces and manipulate them using Azure Faces API. First thing you will need is an Azure subscription, so you can create a Face resource. The pricing for a Face resource is …
Everything your computer does can be translated into bits. Bitwise operators perform operations on binary numerals to manipulate individual bits. This can be quite useful for programmatic functions such as Bluetooth where the individual bits in a package’s header are important or controlling different functions on a chip is a requirement. These operations can also …
In this exercise, you will learn how to create a .NET Maui app and connect it to an Arduino Bluetooth device. The smart home technology industry is booming and there is an increasing demand for innovative products. Many of these products use BLE (Bluetooth low energy) or Bluetooth classic to connect smart home devices to …
