JOSE JAVIER COLUMBIE
Welcome Back Everyone,
I am glad to say the XAFers Community Standup is official. I had a lot of fun (and learned a lot) discussing about XAF, XPO and more. Hope to see you guys there on the next one and if you have any topic will like us to cover, please feel free to send us an email.
We have great news this week: Xafers Training is making Getting Started with XPO and Xamarin completely free for a limited time and Pluralsight will be free the whole month of April. I guess is time to skill up.
Every day we are closer to XAF Blazor so hang in there.
World is still crazy and scary so XAFers stay safe and until next week, XAF out!

XPO
XPO SqlDependency Notifications - YouTube
Use at your own risk but really cool XPO feature about database change notifications. A modification in the database triggers an event that allows to implement custom business logic on our app. Neat right?
