.NET Docs
This repository contains .NET Documentation
This repository contains the conceptual documentation for .NET. The .NET documentation site is built from multiple repositories. Issues and tasks for all but the API reference repository are tracked here. We have a large community using these resources. We make our best effort to respond to issues in a timely fashion. .NET is a free, open-source development platform for building many types of applications. Share functionality between different applications and application types using class libraries. With .NET, your project code and files look the same, regardless of the type of application you build. With each application you have access to the same language, API, and runtime capabilities. .NET allows you to use platform-specific functionality, such as operating system APIs. Some examples are Windows Forms and WPF on Windows and the native bindings to each mobile platform from Xamarin. -

Awesome Cordova Plugins
Native features for mobile apps built with Cordova/PhoneGap
Awesome Cordova Plugins is a curated set of wrappers for Cordova plugins that make adding any native functionality you need to your Ionic mobile app easy. Awesome Cordova Plugins wraps plugin callbacks in a Promise or Observable, providing a common interface for all plugins and making it easy to use plugins with Angular change detection. In addition to Cordova, Awesome Cordova Plugins also works with Capacitor, Ionic's official native runtime. You also need to install the Awesome Cordova Plugins package for each plugin you want to add. To use a plugin, import and add the plugin provider to your @NgModule, and then inject it where you wish to use it. Make sure to import the injectable class from the /ngx directory. React apps must use Capacitor to build native mobile apps. However, Awesome Cordova Plugins (and therefore, Cordova plugins) can still be used. -

Bootstrap 3 for Sass
Sass port of Bootstrap 2 and 3
Bootstrap 3 for Sass is a Sass-powered version of Bootstrap 3, ready to drop right into your Sass powered applications. This is Bootstrap 3. For Bootstrap 4 use the Bootstrap rubygem if you use Ruby, and the main repo otherwise. Get the lowdown on the key pieces of Bootstrap's infrastructure, including our approach to better, faster, stronger web development. Bootstrap makes use of certain HTML elements and CSS properties that require the use of the HTML5 doctype. Include it at the beginning of all your projects. With Bootstrap 2, we added optional mobile friendly styles for key aspects of the framework. With Bootstrap 3, we've rewritten the project to be mobile friendly from the start. Instead of adding on optional mobile styles, they're baked right into the core. In fact, Bootstrap is mobile first. Mobile first styles can be found throughout the entire library instead of in separate files. -

Buck
Build system that encourages the creation of small, reusable modules
Buck is a build system developed and used by Facebook. It encourages the creation of small, reusable modules consisting of code and resources, and supports a variety of languages on many platforms. Buck builds independent artifacts in parallel to take advantage of multiple cores on your machine. Further, it reduces incremental build times by keeping track of unchanged modules so that the minimal set of modules is rebuilt. Buck only uses the declared inputs, which means everybody gets the same results. Buck looks at the contents of your inputs, not their timestamps to figure out what needs to be built. As a result, incremental builds should always be correct, so there's no need to perform a clean build. With buck query, you can better understand your dependencies and what is required to build your product. With buck project, your project can be better understood by your IDE, making you and your team more productive. -

Epoxy
Android library for building complex screens in a RecyclerView
Epoxy is an Android library for building complex screens in a RecyclerView. Models are automatically generated from custom views or databinding layouts via annotation processing. These models are then used in an EpoxyController to declare what items to show in the RecyclerView. This abstracts the boilerplate of view holders, diffing items and binding payload changes, item types, item ids, span counts, and more, in order to simplify building screens with multiple view types. Additionally, Epoxy adds support for saving view state and automatic diffing of item changes. We developed Epoxy at Airbnb to simplify the process of working with RecyclerViews, and to add the missing functionality we needed. We now use Epoxy for most of the main screens in our app and it has improved our developer experience greatly. If you are using layout resources in Epoxy annotations then for library projects add Butterknife's gradle plugin to your buildscript. -

Caching reusable class files and resource indices, it enables incremental building Android apps, and optionally deploying the updates to your device by hot swap. Developed and used by Ant Fortune (about us) Android Team, Freeline has been significantly saving time in daily work. Inspiring by Buck and Instant Run but faster than ever, Freeline can make an incremental build in just a few seconds. No more recompile and reinstall again and again before seeing your modifications, Freeline brings life-changing development experience for Android. Freeline splits the build task into several small tasks that run concurrently. It makes full use of the compiled cache files to implement a real incremental build and uses some components of Buck such as dx and DexMerger to speed up the build tasks. -

HTML Onlive Debugger
Realtime preview for designers and developers.
When I got my first Android tablet; I realized how much web design and development were such a tedious process for a large majority of tablet and smart phone users. I found no applications available in Google Play that enabled live code debugging which gave me the incentive to develop one myself. After purchasing Google's developer fee, as well as AIDE I then released on Google Play for all to use. -

Litho
A declarative framework for building efficient UIs on Android
Litho uses a declarative API to define UI components. You simply describe the layout for your UI based on a set of immutable inputs and the framework takes care of the rest. With code generation, Litho can perform optimisations for your UI under the hood, while keeping your code simple and easy to maintain. Litho can measure and layout your UI ahead of time without blocking the UI thread. By decoupling its layout system from the traditional Android View system, Litho can drop the UI thread constraint imposed by Android. Litho uses Yoga for layout and automatically reduces the number of ViewGroups that your UI contains. This, in addition to Litho's text optimizations, allows for much smaller view hierarchies and improves both memory and scroll performance. -

LoopBack
Build modern applications that require complex integrations
A highly extensible Node.js and TypeScript framework for building APIs and microservices. A brand new LoopBack core to deliver great extensibility and flexibility written in TypeScript/ES2017. Create powerful APIs easily with a new creation experience for defining REST API's and handling API requests/responses. A new, improved programming model with Dependency Injection and new concepts such as Components, Mixins, Repositories, etc. make this the most extensible version yet. Using OpenAPI-to-GraphQL, create a GraphQL interface for any REST API. Schemas are used to create GraphQL data definitions, and links defined in the OAS are used to create a nested structure, allowing for (deeply) nested queries. GraphQL-incompatible identifiers of your API are sanitized. For example, API parameters or data definitions with unsupported characters (e.g., -, ., ,, :, ;...) are removed. -

Ratchet
Build mobile apps with simple HTML, CSS, and JavaScript components
Ratchet is designed to respond to touch events from a mobile device. Enable touch event emulation in Chrome (found in the overrides tab in the web inspector preferences). Use a JavaScript library like fingerblast.js to emulate touch events (ideally only loaded from desktop devices). Ratchet is downloadable in two forms, within which you'll find directories and files, logically grouping common resources and providing both compiled and minified variations. The most basic form of Ratchet is the grouping of the precompiled files for quick drop-in usage in nearly any web project. We provide compiled CSS and JS (ratchet.*), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (ratchet.min.*). The Ratchicon fonts are included, as are the Android and iOS platform themes. The Ratchet source code download includes the precompiled CSS, JavaScript, and font assets. Provides design patterns that serve as basic building blocks. -

React Native Navigation
A complete native navigation solution for React Native
React Native Navigation is a module, dependent on and intended to be used alongside React Native, so some experience with it and knowledge of core concepts is required. We also assume you are working on a Mac with XCode and Android Studio installed and setup. You can also make it work in a Linux distribution, of course, but in that case bear in mind that some sections of the docs that deal with iOS might not be relevant to you. When your app is launched for the first time, the bundle is parsed and executed. At this point you need to display your UI. To do so, listen to the appLaunched event and call Navigation.setRoot when that event is received. When your app is launched, RN makes sure JS context (which is what enables you to execute JavaScript code) is running. There are quite a few differences between iOS and Android in this regard. -
22
ReactXP
Library for cross-platform app development
ReactXP builds on the popular React JS and React Native frameworks. Share most of your code between the web, iOS, Android, and Windows. Create great-looking, responsive web pages and mobile apps that feel native. With React and React Native, your web app can share most its logic with your iOS and Android apps, but the view layer needs to be implemented separately for each platform. We have taken this a step further and developed a thin cross-platform layer we call ReactXP. If you write your app to this abstraction, you can share your view definitions, styles and animations across multiple target platforms. Of course, you can still provide platform-specific UI variants, but this can be done selectively where desired. ReactXP is designed with cross-platform development in mind. In general, it exposes APIs, components, props, styles and animation parameters that are implemented in a consistent way across React JS (HTML) and React Native for iOS and Android. -

Reflex Platform
A curated package set and set of tools that let you build Haskell
Reflex Platform is a curated package set and set of tools that let you build Haskell packages so they can run on a variety of platforms. Reflex Platform is built on top of the nix package manager. The core packages in Reflex Platform are known to work together and are tested together. the core packages in Reflex Platform are cached so you can download prebuilt binaries from the public cache instead of building from scratch. Nix locks down dependencies even outside the Haskell ecosystem (e.g., versions of C libraries that the Haskell code depends on), so you get completely reproducible builds. Reflex Platform is designed to target iOS and Android on mobile, JavaScript on the web, and Linux and macOS on desktop. It's Haskell, everywhere. Reflex Platform comes packaged with tools to make development easier, like a hoogle server that you can run locally to look up definitions. -
24
Shoutem UI
Customizable set of components for React Native applications
Shoutem UI is a set of styleable components that enables you to build beautiful React Native applications for iOS and Android. All of our components are built to be both composable and customizable. Each component has a predefined style that is compatible with the rest of the Shoutem UI, which makes it possible to build complex components that look great without the need to manually define complex styles. You can also use standard React Native components in your layouts anywhere you want, but they will not inherit either the theme or the parent styles, so you will need to style them manually. Shoutem UI is a part of the Shoutem UI Toolkit that enables you to build professional-looking React Native apps with ease. -
