business casual for me is Jeans that hopefully have been washed in the last three months. Button up shirt which is untucked. Decent shoes and a watch. Gotta have the watch so I can pretend to look at it sigh and leave.

I am always too hot in Florida, so I wear shorts.
For business, I wear PLEATED Shorts.
When I got Married, I had the Tux pants CUT into Shorts... With the tails, I looked like I just had no pants on from behind... LOL.
But Business Casual. That's a tough one. Polo Shirt, shorts I would assume. Probably could go with Tennis Shoes as opposed to dock shoes...

Easy answer. Remember that you are in an environment of competitive people who are trying to one-up each other. (Love the corporate world and the even more hypocritical neo-corporate world!)
The purpose of saying "business casual" is to weed out those who are foolish enough to fall for the bait and who forget that it's always about looking as-good-as-or-better than others.
"Business casual" is a code for "dress better than others, but not flashy". Practical applications: toned down suit jacket or blazer, no khaki, no Hawaiian shirt. No guayabera outside of Latin America and Philippines.
Think "going to visit someone in order to borrow a LOT of money".

- You can never be "over-dressed"
- It was a "celebration" after all
- Free drinks is a good reason to dress up
- We sometimes have few chances to "dress up"; so, when we can, we do.
- And you're in Germany!
(I don't wear "runners" except for hiking ... and I hope the "kakhis" are at least not pleated in front...)

No, but we know about it's existence, one of my colleagues reacted like this "Finally we can get rid of Javascript"

I'm looking for a straight answer regarding the development and deployment of a simple app using Xamarin (vs 2017) and targeting iPads specifically.
Do I really need a mac in order to actually build/deploy the app? If so, is it possible to run the mac in a VM for around $35 instead of shelling out $1400 for a new MacBook? (does it actually require mac hardware for the certificates?)
One other question: My current hand-me-down iPad unfortunately, is not compatible with the Xamarin Live Player. If I get a mac with XCode on the network and connected in VS, will that mean that I won't need the Xamarin Live Player? (saving the expense of a new iPad)
A little background: I was told yesterday that a new customer had decided on (and bought) iPads as their input device for a hybrid web-based application. I was confused because iPads weren't on the original proposal...they were added later unbeknownst to me. At any rate, I now need a simple little app that basically opens a webview with an encoded querystring identifying the device. It sounds easy enough, but after two days, I'm getting nowhere, and they want to start training in about 3 weeks!

Yes, I'm almost certain you need a physical Mac (desktop, laptop or mini).
IIRC, with Xamarin you can test and debug using an emulator that runs entirely on Windows[^]. You still need to be connected to a Mac.

you don't need a macbook, just get a Mac Mini.
I'd rather be phishing!

good point! Just looked them up and it's much more affordable. Thanks!

Yes, I have a Mac Mini and that is the way I went to get in the cheapest way I possibly could.

yeah you do
story time:
so when you order a mac for your cross platform stuff - you lodge a job with the IT dept to they can be ready to get it on the network - you supply them with alll the technical info on whaty it is and why you need a mac and why it needs to be on their windows network...and you give them..MONTHS worth of notice
Closer to the time the mac is due to arrive - you let them know...hey the mac isnt far away
The mac arrives and nothing has been done...so you do all your iphone work on the mac and not the Windows box...oh and 2 years later...the mac still isnt on the network thogh you do have papal dispensation to use the guest wifi to access the interwebs
and you look occasionally at the ticket still in the IT Dept queue...and you dont say a word because guest wifi is better

Yes. But you can sign up for a virtual Mac. I just started doing the Apple side of Xamarin. I use a Mac mini. You get one on Amazon for a reasonable price. The provisioning for Apple is arduous. If you need help reply back and I can send you the sequence that worked for me. You do need an Apple ID. Good luck.

I use a Mac Mini at the office for Xamarin development, but sometimes I like to play with stuff at home so I installed a Hackintosh VM that works fine with Xamarin.

Thanks for this! I'll keep this as an option then.

I got a Mac Mini 2012 for this purpose. Used but works fine with the latest Mac OS. AND...You can put 16 GB of RAM in it! Not quite as powerful as the new ones but much, much more affordable!
