End-of-2020 Updates - Learn WinUI 3 and TechBash 2021

Hello Windows developers! We've nearly reached the end of 2020, and I wanted to provide a couple of updates.

First, an update on the TechBash developer conference that I help to organize. We had to cancel our 2020 event due to the pandemic. TechBash 2021 is currently planned for October 19-22, 2021 at the Kalahari Resort in the Poconos. We will be working closely with the venue to ensure that we can host a safe in-person event next fall. We are hoping that the vaccine roll-out throughout 2021 will make this possible. Watch for the call for speakers in February. Sign up for the TechBash newsletter or follow us on Twitter to stay informed.

In other news, the book I'm writing for Packt Publishing, Learn WinUI 3, has been pushed back to an early 2021 publication date. We've decide to delay it to publish closer to the delayed WinUI 3.0 launch from Microsoft. For more information about the book and its release, check out my recent newsletter. You can sign up to receive updates on the book, including when pre-orders are available.

Finally, I've refreshed the look of my primary blog, The Morning Dew. Check it out and let me know your thoughts. I have received some feedback that the link font is difficult to read on some devices, and I am working on improving that.

I hope you all stay safe and healthy during these difficult times. I hope to see many of you at events in late 2021 and 2022. Happy new year!

 Summer is winding down, and I realized it's been months since I have posted anything on my WPF , UWP , and WinUI Tips blogs. I have been hard at work writing my first book, Learn WinUI 3.0  from Packt Publishing , this year. The project started in January, and I am about to start writing the first draft of the fourteenth (and final) chapter. I haven't been given the exact publication date, but it should be available about the same time that Microsoft releases Preview 3 of WinUI 3 in November, maybe a little earlier. The November release of WinUI 3 was originally going to be Preview 4. While preview 3 isn't going to have the "go-live" moniker that Preview 4 was targeting, it is still expected to be the final preview before WinUI is released in 2021. When in 2021? Well, Microsoft isn't saying yet. However, there are two big events in the first half of 2021, another Ignite conference in early 2021 (March?) and Microsoft Build later in the first half of 2021 (Ju
Hello WinUI developers! I want to update you on my WinUI focus for 2020. Most of my spare time this year is going to be spent on my new WinUI side project. I am writing a book for  Packt Publishing  titled  Learn WinUI 3.0 . The book is due out this fall. That will hopefully coincide with a final or near-final release of  WinUI 3.0 . As I am working on the book, I plan to blog about my experience with WinUI 3.0 through its preview and beta stages this year. If you would like to follow along, I encourage you to subscribe to this  blog. I will occasionally cross-post or create summary blog posts on my UWP Tips blog to catch up with my UWP Tips followers. Your best bet to stay informed is to subscribe to both blogs (and  WPF Tips , while you're at it). I am well underway with the first chapter and plan to blog this week about my experience setting up the WinUI 3.0 preview and creating my first project. Spoiler Alert: No issues encountered yet. I'm looking forward to engaging
Earlier this month, at the Microsoft 365 Developer Day event, Microsoft made several important announcements for Windows developers. Among them was an alpha release of WinUI 3.0. This is the second alpha release of the upcoming major update to the WinUI libraries, due to be released toward the end of this year. The centerpiece of this alpha release over the November 2019 alpha release is the addition of the WebView2 control. This is an updated version of the WebView control, based on the new Chromium-based Edge browser. You can read the GitHub issue with the feature proposal for WebView2 here . WinUI 3.0 will be a major update over the 2.x releases. Outside of the WebView2, there will not be many new controls. The team is focused on building out WinUI to be a complete UI framework that can be built on top of either the UWP or Win32 platform layer for new app development. Developers can leverage C++ to build Win32 apps with WinUI or .NET to build WinUI apps with the UWP platform.
