Maybe because he uses C# all day, or the change from procedural to functional? We tackle all these topics and more on this week's Merge Conflict.
\n\n\n\nThis week Frank & James discuss the importance of a great local experience, server maintenance, and Apple’s amazing CloudKit. We take a look at what it takes to make an application that is cloud connected and what services are available to developers so we don’t have to actually maintain a server. What have we tried, what has worked, what hasn’t, and what we would start with today?
\n\n\n\nWhat happens after that Initial Commit to GitHub? This week on Merge Conflict we discuss how we go about starting new repositories on GitHub. Did you know that the README.md file is the most important file in your repository? We talk about how and what should go into it and what resources there are for learning markdown. Finally, we take a serious look into how to handle Issues and Pull Requests "properly".
\n\n\n\nPokémon Go and its augmented reality pocket monster capturing has taken the world by storm. This week we discuss if AR has finally hit critical mass and general acceptance. Frank and James also debate over what exactly AR is and how the Hololens, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive fit in. What does the future hold for AR? All this and more on this week's Merge Conflict.
\n\n\n\nYou have spent months or years developing an app, but now you are at that last 5%. Frank & James walk through the last steps before launch day. We take a look at how to prepare for that final submission before launch day including what sort of documentation, website, and support you need to be prepared for. Of course, we can't forget about that ever so important app store artwork, icon, and marketing jargon that must all be put together before it is time to go live.
