Double You is the most awful letter to pronounce in English. It sounds like its two letters, Double and You. It also looks more like a Double Vee. The person who invented Double You was clearly drunk (and probably seeing double).
I'd never use an acronym having the letter Double You in it. I hadn't heard of it before either (or maybe I had, but I banned it from memory because of the Double You).
In Dutch it sounds more like Wee

So true! Double El is the only valid letter!

I had absolutely no idea what it meant.
What's wrong with the word "accessible"? 
I pity you.

Haha! You understand me so well!!

If you create a website in VS and open the property pages you have a tab called "Accessibility".
In this tab you have a check box for "WCAG".
What this means to me, is that if I mess up my html according to whatever standard "WCAG" is,I get a warning.

Ho, interesting!
There is no such setting in "ASP .NET Web Application" project type...

Interesting indeed, I willl have to have a look at that when I come home tonight.

Unfortunately, it's not hard to believe that people are still spending so much time and effort on such an old gag.
Creativity? Forget it; let's just do the same gag that's been done a million times, but with newer tech.

I have noticed that Xamarin appears to be quite a favoured topic for Articles, Blogs and Tips at the moment.
I haven't used it, I have had a look at the website, sounds / looks good, but the question is: Is it really? Does it justify its price?
Just curious.........

Not to me, it doesn't.
And I still want to use C# on OpenVMS.

It depends on how lazy you are. I'm working on a project and I don't want to be bothered to learn Java/Eclipse. Xamarin has been easy and seems to work great.

I gave up after about ten minutes.
Xamarin might be something I could use, but as I only use free development tools (VS Express, SQL Server Express, etc.) I may never know.

There is a free version but it is very limited in usefulness

This has been something on my mind as well. I have been looking into it as well it seems great from what I have read and seen.
However, it can be a bit pricey which is why I am currently weighing my options before I make the plunge.

We looked at it for our projects....
We are not using it for our projects.

The MonoDevelop IDE changed to "Xamarin Studio" after an update. It updated onto the C:, whilst the app was installed under D:. If I doubleclick on the icon on the desktop, the version on the D drive is started, and starts the download again.

Xamarin is powerful technology. I'm evaluating it at work. It's not cheap, but the benefits (in my case) far outweigh the cost. Note that Xamarin doesn't allow you to do away with having to know how Android or iOS works. You still need to be fluent in the native APIs to use Xamarin. What Xamarin gives you is the power of C#, the ability to share non-UI specfic code (Xamarin Forms lets you share some UI code) and of course a world class IDE (VS).
Xamarin and MS have a deep partnership. I wouldn't be surprised if it's acquired by MS and becomes part of Visual Studio.
