Yesterday I went to the //Publish event in London and it was quite awesome! It kicked off at 10am right after breakfast, and went on for 12 straight hours of coding. I had big plans for the day but Telerik and .Net seemed to be against me so I only managed to push out an update for an app (more on that later).

I have new published app on the market! There’s still a lot of stuff I want to add to the app in the coming weeks/months, but it was ready for a v1 release. I’ll update this post once new stuff has been pushed to the app.

It’s been a while since I wrote something so here’s something I had in my backlog that had me scratching my head some time ago.

I decided to give my WP7 app a much needed overhaul and eventually release a WP8 version. I started by pulling all the Model and ViewModel code to a separate library so I can then have an app for 7 and 8. One of the features I planned to update for a while but never got to it was to have the image viewer actually work like an image viewer.

I was cleaning up some code on my GoodReads Windows 8 app and decided to give RestSharp another go. RestSharp is a nice, simple REST and HTTP API Client for .NET which works under .NET, MonoDroid, MonoTouch, Silverlight and Windows Phone, and can be found on github.

In the previous post I briefly touched on how the API calls for GoodReads looked like, now I’m going to mention authentication.

If you take a look at the GoodReads forums there are a lot of people with a few authentication troubles here and there, and solutions… not so much.
