New Architecture, React Compiler, and What Developers Need to Know

Flutter in 2026 is looking to be a real maturation of the platform, addressing fundamental architectural challenges while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in cross-platform development.

We'll compare Xcode Cloud and GitHub Actions for macOS development, explore real-world workflow automation, and see how Xcode Cloud handles app notarization and distribution—all through the lens of a production developer tool.

After 30 years of building software systems, I've learned that every complex problem is solvable. But here's the catch: every solution introduces new complexity. The offline data synchronization problem isn't a single challenge—it's a cascade of interconnected problems where each solution reveals the next layer of difficulty.

Recently, I needed to port a tool I'd built in SwiftUI to Windows. What started as a simple requirement turned into a deep dive through Microsoft's fragmented ecosystem and ultimately led me to abandon MAUI entirely. Here's what I learned.

Ditto 4.13 delivers significant improvements across query performance, platform coverage through expanded Flutter support, and sync efficiency with optimized reconnection handling for peers returning online.

A introduction to my new blog

Most apps rely on the cloud, but in imperfect edge environments, connectivity can’t be guaranteed. Join Ditto’s Aaron LaBeau to learn how offline-first, peer-to-peer sync empowers always-on operations without sacrificing flexibility or scalability.

In this video, Aaron walks through Ditto’s Edge Sync plugin for ATAK — a powerful integration that enables real-time, peer-to-peer data synchronization across tactical devices, even in degraded or disconnected environments.

This video walks you through the a demo of the Ditto Quickstart for Swift with SwiftUI for developers writing apps for iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS.

This video walks you through a demo of the Ditto Quickstart for Kotlin with JetPack Compose for Android developers.

This video walks you through our latest Ditto 4.10 SDK release which brings significant improvements, giving developers more flexibility, better performance, and support for new platforms.

In this video I go over the Uno Platform Plugin for Jetbrains Rider, try out the new Hot Design beta tool for building awesome apps, and review the Uno Sample app Calculator on the Mac.

With Visual Studio for Mac sunset in 2024, it's time to revisit what is means to be .NET Developer on a Mac in 2024 and what tools are out there, and more importantly how do they work with mobile development.

I share my experiences using each of the solutions daily in my professional coding projects, along with my .NET Lunch Stream I do on a semi-daily basis.

This is my semi-daily stream of writing .NET software on the Mac during my lunch break.

Couchbase Server version 7.1, code-named Neo, combines the strengths of relational databases with the flexibility, performance, and scale of Couchbase. In this video Aaron LaBeau, a Developer Advocate at Couchbase will give you an overview of what’s new and his top 5 favorite features.

I hosted the Couchbase Virtual Meetup for the month of November 2021 and spoke with Idris Motiwala about Analystic and Matthew Groves about migration from SQL to NoSQL with .NET and Dapper.

I sat down with Frank Boucher to discuss how you can use ASP.NET with gRPC to build an API that talks to a NoSQL database served by Couchbase Server and a client .NET Console application using Terminal.Gui.

I spoke during the Visual Studio for Mac Refresh event to show off some of the amazing things that we were working on at EY when I was the Technical Lead for the Mobile Technologies team.

I spoke during the Visual Studio for Mac Refresh closing party showing of a Mac application built with Xamarin .Mac using Visual Studio for Mac. This demo was built for the event shows off how you can write a Native Mac app using .NET technology.

This is a previously recorded live stream from Twitch on Xamarin .Mac and working on the app that was demo'd on Channel 9 during the Visual Studio for Mac Refresh event.
