After working for years as a freelance .NET consultant I decided to use my C# skills also for the mobile platform. Using Microsoft Visual studio you would only be able to support the Windows Phone framework, but using Xamarin studio gives you more options. Xamarin studio is a development environment that uses C# to make […]

I made a small application to get images from Flickr and wanted to display this in a website in random order. I found this little snippet of code, which shuffles any collection (using generics) into a random collection. It’s an extension method that extends any collection with a Shuffle method.

I love developing software on my MacBook Air! I got the latest version with the maximum possible specifications (i7, 8GB internal mem, 512GB SSD disk) so it works better than anything I ever had!

My last project was for a client where I was in a position to study how to make apps for the iPhone and the iPad. After 10 months the project finished and I decided to make an app that I could use myself. It should also be of such quality that I could sell it […]
Lately I haven’t been doing a lot of iPhone and iPad development in my spare time, so I haven’t also been writing a lot of blogs about software development. The reason for all of this can be found almost 30 years ago! I used to be very much interested in CB radio (27 mc). For […]
The ASP.NET development server is a very useful tool but now and then I find that I need to use a service or website that I’m developing in another solution than in the one I’m working in. I found that it is easiest just to add the instances of often used services and websites to […]
