  2. I just want to say Thank you, James!!! You are a lifesaver! You have no idea. Developing a mobile app for school to complete the term so whether I pass or not depends on this project. I was intimidated by all the moving parts at first but you explained everything very well and in a language, I could understand (not too technical). I have learned not only how to create the app but also why things are the way they are in the IDE. I wish I could send you a gift basket but just accept my thanks. Subscribing now!

  3. I like your tutorials alot. Just one tip to make you even better in what you already to good. As I see it, you talk a little to slow. Its loong betweeeen theee woooord. Just talk in normal speed and I think it will be better. Thanks!

  4. Thanks James for this tutorial for beginners, did fill the information that I was looking for, I really appreciate the effort to put this video available πŸ€™πŸΌπŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ˜„

  5. Hi JM, I am new here and currently having this error message when ran the MyCoffeeApp for the first time. The type or namespace name 'Models' does not exist in the namespace 'MyCoffeeApp' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

    How can I fix this problem. Thanks in advance

  6. Seems a lot of things have changed since this video was published. There is no project template option to create the AppShell file, and many aspects of the project are completely different now.
