It's one of the paradoxes of blogging that most every blogger (including myself) is sharing what they know right now (let's quietly ignore those who blog purely for traffic and visibility). Since everyone is learning, this can result in poor or misleading information being shared just as much as good information. Keep this in mind as you read any blog - how experienced is the writer and how well do they really know what they're talking about.
I'm just as flawed as other bloggers, so you should feel encouraged to check my ideas for yourself. Keep the date in mind as well - in our fast moving field, even good ideas can become obsolete.

Leveraging the add vocabulary word view model from last time, we now turn our attention to creating the associated view. Once we have that, we can wire everything up into a working WPF application.

I had an interesting problem updating my GherkinSyntax project when my Azure DevOps Pipeline builds started failing with error NU1604. Local builds worked fine, only the cloud builds were failing.

Let’s look at the first of the screens we need to build for our application - the Add Word screen, used (surprisingly enough) to add a new word to the list of words we’re currently viewing.

While developing the website for Code Camp Wellington 2019, I ran into an odd problem - the images for our organizing team were being squished on narrow format screens.
