We came up with a roadmap to our first milestone for the “yet
to be named” early reading assistant. I
spent the beginning of the week studying Xamarin Forms documentation which is a
C# cross-platform mobile development toolset (https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/). I started here because of my limited
experience with mobile development.
The Enterprise Application Patterns eBook section at the end
occupied the remainder of my week. I studied
the associated eShopOnContainers demo project at https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers. Without too many challenges I could get their
dev branch running with visual studio 2017, .Net Core 2, and a kindle fire on
windows docker. Microservices is the way
to go for a growing company. That said the
entry point with azure containers is a little expensive for a startup with its
first product.
I am hoping the Microsoft BizSpark program (https://bizspark.microsoft.com/)
will accept our startup application. Our
first application lacked focus and we had not settled on a project yet so I was
not too shocked by the rejection. If we
are accepted the costs will greatly be offset for the first three years as we
build up the market for this reader.
Wish us luck!
