Happy Friday.

This week we have some great design blogs and tools. As always, there are great Xamarin.Forms articles discussing multi-lingual apps and the new shapes components to name just a couple. This week there is also a great post on the Android ADB command and creating bindings.

Have a great weekend, stay safe... and wear a mask.

Creating a Xamarin Binding Library for iOS And Android

As a Xamarin Developer, there are situations where we want to use a native (Objective C, Swift, Java, Kotlin, etc) library.
