Issue 44

JOSE JAVIER COLUMBIE

Hello XAFers,

Docs and new examples of XAF Blazor are coming up almost daily and a lot of awesome questions are being discussed in the Support Center.

Our monthly XAFers Community Standup is happening this Thursday. We will be talking about XAF to Mobile and we have a lot of cool demos to show. Also don't forget to check the new documentation of the XPO Sync Framework released last week.

A lot of great links in this issue and also some really great events coming soon in the world of .NET.

Hope everyone is staying safe and as always, XAF out!
