Some of the futures in TinyMvvm: * NavigationHelper that supports both Shell and the classic NavigationService. * Passing objects as parameters, both when using Shell and classic navigation. * ViewModel navigation with Shell. * Add BindingContext in View, but still be able to use DI in VIewModels. * Lifecycle events in ViewModels. * INotiftyPropertyChanged implementation. In this session, Daniel will show you how to use TinyMvvm but also how it is built to get a deeper understanding of how it works under the hood.
