JOSE JAVIER COLUMBIE
Hello XAFers,
Third community standup completed. And this one was a great one. Dave joined us and we discussed about Controllers, Localization, XPO Web API and a Live QnA. It is also a long one (time flies when you are doing what you love) but good news the next one is all about Best Practices so stay tuned!
New Blazor Train videos series released so get your Blazor on to be ready for XAF Blazor.
And as always, a lot of great links.
Until next week, XAF out!

XAF & Blazor: barcode scanner plugin
If you remember our XAF Blazor video we tried to upload a picture in a mobile device and it was not working (only on desktop), well now as you can see in the screenshot that Dennis provided it seems it is working. I can't wait to give it a try.
Dennis words: The same goes for location, etc.

Always good to keep up to date with reporting as that an essential part of any LOB application. A great addition this time is the Visual Warning Indicator in the Expression Editor. That will help to avoid a lot of confusion and possible data loss.
