At the end of October, we were present at Philips VitalHealth to provide a one-week training focused on gaining experience with Xamarin development. Our Microsoft MVP Developer, Nico Milcoff, spend the week with their eager development team.

Distance Nico Milcoff traveled

Nico traveled a very long distance; from Rosario, Argentina to finally end up in the Veluwe to reach Uddel, where VitalHealth is located. VitalHealth focuses on improving people’s health and enabling better health outcomes through digital innovations and solutions.  

A week of Gaining Experience in Xamarin

In five intense back-to-back training days, the VitalHealth developers gained much Xamarin knowledge as well as hands-on experience through practical exercises.

Philips reached out to us through our training partner Global Knowledge. The team wanted to gain more in-depth knowledge of Xamarin and, therefore, they dived into the ‘Xamarin Certified Developer’ training.  

Nico was very enthusiastic about the progress he saw, and he very much enjoyed working with the team:  

“I was honestly amazed by the team spirit and how much interest they had for Xamarin. This was a great experience.”
NICO, MICROSOFT MVP AND TRAINER.

The VitalHealth development team also looks back on a successful week: 

“We learned a lot, received a lot of practical information that matched our daily work thanks to a well-prepared training and the high level of knowledge and enthusiasm of our trainer, Nico!”

After this successful collaboration, we look forward to working together with Philips VitalHealth in the future and we are eager to see their obtained Xamarin knowledge incorporated in new solutions and innovations to improve health.

We learned from their challenges, which helped us refine and adapt our approach to their needs.

Last week we had the pleasure of getting a team at UPS up and running with Xamarin development. Nico Milcoff flew over to the USA to lead an enthusiastic team of developers at the UPS Innovation Center in New Jersey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPS, the multinational package delivery and supply chain management company headquartered in the USA, got in touch with us through IT training broker NewAge Solutions. As they were looking for an intensive Xamarin course for their developers, we sent Nico Milcoff, who is a Microsoft MVP with many years of Xamarin development and training experience.

An intense week of Xamarin training

Held at the UPS Innovation Center in New Jersey, a full classroom of 15 developers took part in the week-long course.

As we’re a Xamarin University-certified training partner, the course followed the Xamarin University curriculum, with a combination of lectures, discussion and hands-on labs that let the group try out what they learned.

Participants had nothing but praise for Nico, who they said delivered the training very clearly while staying engaging and motivating!

At the end of the week, the UPS developers were equipped with the skills to independently start coding cross-platform mobile apps with Xamarin. As summed by one participant:

This is a great course if you want a deep dive into Xamarin’s capabilities, and to learn the proper methodology for building your project.

We recently started working with the very talented Xamarin developer Nico Milcoff. He’s not only a Microsoft MVP and lead maintainer of the open source MvvmCross project, he also finds time to lead his own team of developers at DGenix, headquarted in Rosario, Argentina.

We first met Nico just over a year ago when he was a guest speaker at our big MvvmCross & Xamarin HackDay, co-sponsored by the .NET Foundation. The event brought together an elite group of top MvvmCross and Xamarin experts from around the world, Nico among them.

Impressed with his expertise, we kept in close touch. Finally this past July, Nico began working closely with our team to contribute his deep knowledge and skills to several of our ongoing projects, notably the MiniBrew mobile app, which is launching to the public soon. His team at DGenix is also available to lend their skills and experience to projects – we’ve already had the pleasure of working with Mariano Miño and look forward to meeting the others!

We’re excited about our collaboration and hope you’ll join us in welcoming Nico and the DGenix team!

This week we’re happy to introduce Ivo Krugers, a Senior Xamarin developer who joined our team this month.

1. What brought you to Xamarin development and where do you want to go with it?

I’ve been a software developer all my life. Reusing code is always something we developers yearn for, so having decided to move into mobile development, Xamarin was the logical choice. I love what I’m doing and just go with the opportunities that arise.

2. What will you do at XABLU?

At XABLU, I’ll do a lot of app development (I’m currently part of the MiniBrew app project) but also provide Xamarin training to inspire others.

3. What do you like to do in your free time?

In my free time I like to relax and spend time with my family.

Interested in joining our team?

We’re currently looking for new developers from Junior to Senior. If you’re interested in or experienced with Microsoft Xamarin and want to be part of awesome projects, check out our open positions!
