British Airways have started using robots to push their aeroplanes back from the stands at London Heathrow Terminal 5.

ASP.NET Core 2.2 is out, in time for some holiday projects.

Winter isn’t coming, at least not for me.

St Paul’s Cathedral is an iconic building in London and it can be seen from all over.

One of my favourite stations in London is Blackfriars.

Ever wanted your own climbing wall?

It’s no secret that the technology industry has a diversity problem and that women are under-represented in particular.

This summer I took yet another trip to sunny Sweden.

Update: I’ve changed mobile network providers again.

To celebrate world vegan day tomorrow (and halloween today) I’ve devised this completely plant-based flapjack recipe.

It’s gradually becoming clear that social media and tech companies are the new big tobacco and that smartphones are the new smoking.

The moral of this story is don’t update your mobile apps.

This is the fourth in a trilogy (because all the best trilogies have more than three parts) of posts on how you, as a technologist, can help address the global problem of climate change.

This is the third and final piece in a trilogy of posts on how you, as a smart technologist, can help address the global problem of climate change.

This is the second in a trilogy of posts on how you, as a technologist, can help address the global problem of climate change.

Does it ever seem to you that people are focusing on the wrong problems and ignoring the real issues?

This post describes my experiences in migrating this blog from Ghost to Hugo.

Following on from my previous list, here are some more good non-technical reads that aren’t about software but are enlightening.

So, it’s finally official that Microsoft are acquiring GitHub.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last month, you will have heard of something called GDPR.

GitHub pages is a great static-site hosting resource but if you want to use it with a custom domain name and support HTTPS then you need to take some extra steps.

It often comes up in tech circles that engineers and founders ask for advice on what non-technical books to read that aren’t simply fiction.

Just in time for summer (at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere), there is a new minor release of ASP.

Do you think you could learn how to program from a child?

Edit: VSTS is now called Azure DevOps but it’s essentially the same thing with a different UI.

It’s easy to get desensitised to monitoring alerts if there are too many of them and then you get stuck in a rut of failure fatigue.

The video from my React and .NET Core 2.0 talk at Trainline last year is finally up.

I gave another talk recently on React + ASP.NET Core (strangely enough, entitled React + ASP.NET Core = 👍).

My latest book about cross-platform web app development on Windows, Mac and Linux is out now.

I gave a talk at the Financial Times on ASP.NET Core 2.0, including a live demo running it with a React and Redux TypeScript client app on a Raspberry Pi.

As suspected, .NET Core 2.0 has been released.

.NET Standard 2.0 is final and I suspect that .NET Core 2.0 is not too far away now either.

I gave a talk at a London .NET user group meetup on ASP.NET Core and moving targets.

In part one of this React series we built a client-side tube status mobile web app.

Let’s build an app in React!

If you’ve been using the London Underground recently then you may have seen one of these posters about WiFi data collection.

I’ve been trying out the React JavaScript framework and the integration with ASP.NET Core provided by the ReactJS.NET project.

The Visual Studio 2017 Release Candidate was recently previewed so I’ve tried it out, on an old 1 MacBook Pro (as I wouldn’t want to take out my main work machine).

In my last post I covered using Xamarin Studio and VS Code on a Mac.

In my last post I covered building a cross-platform mobile game using Xamarin.Forms.

In my previous post I introduced a simple mobile game that I made with Xamarin.Forms.

As covered in my previous post, I’ve been experimenting with Xamarin for building mobile apps in C#.

I was recently looking for a platform to build apps that run on both iOS and Android.

I find algorithms very interesting, particularly compression (especially for media) and encryption.

Today there have been problems at Tesco Bank.

I have an iPad that I use for testing things, but I rarely get it out.

I’ve created some lightweight live departure boards for mobile use, in the same vein as my mobile friendly pragmatic tube status.

Almost a year ago I built this prototype railway station information kiosk.

Update: It appears that Google have pushed out at least two new on‑by‑default features since I wrote this (not that long ago).
