We had planned several activities and presentations at the eve of the event, so as to assure ourselves that the event will be very successful. Most of the attendees where secondary school students willing to learn about the Raspberry pi and what could be built with it others where university students or graduates willing to know what the raspberry pi was and what it was capable of. The majority of our audience were not acquainted with the device, but this did not impact the event negatively, instead it made the event more interactive since the attendees where willing to learn. Here are the activities which we carried out during the event.

Hi everyone. A few days ago I was willing to implement camera functionalities in my Xamarin.Android application, as usual I went around to get info how to implement this on the internet, and here is a small sample which demonstrate how to build a simple camera app with Xamarin.Android which captures an image and saves it on your mobile device. Most of the knowledge I used in building this sample is gotten from this documentation.

I succeeded in adding images into my Xamarin.Forms projects using this method a while ago on earlier versions of Xamarin.Forms. But recently, I got an issue when trying this again on Xamarin.Forms 2.5.0.280555 and .Net standard 2.0 as my shared project. This issue was System.Reflection.TargetException. This was a pain in the ?. But, it wasn’t that difficult to resolve.

Xamarin.Android Natural language processing android app with LUIS
Hi everyone,
I was working on an android project which required NLP (Natural Language Processing) for interpreting a set of vocal commands in a smart way (AI, a little bit like Cortana, Alexa…). This may seem a little bit difficult from the first point of view but with all the tools which are available to us right now, it is a lot more simple than what you may think.
After making a few researches on the internet, I succeeded in implementing this functionality in the Android app which I was building, and here is an app which has just that functionality.
