Catching up with msicc.net, Part IV: caching with Akavache in Xamarin Forms

This will be the last post in my 'Catching up with msicc.net'-series. Remember, the goal was to bring my already running series cumulated into my Steemit account. Future blogs will be reposted here (if @steempress will do its job at least). 

Caching

In mobile applications, caching always plays a big role. As a good citizen, you do not want to waste your user's data volume. I tried several solutions, but in the end, I found Akavache does all I want and is performing very well. If you are new to Akavache, there are quite a few gotchas and things to look out for, so I decided to share my experience and started a new series.

Articles

Up until now, there are three articles in the series. Read them in this order to follow along:

• Xamarin.Forms, Akavache and I: Initial setup (new series)
• Xamarin.Forms, Akavache and I: storing, retrieving and deleting data
• Xamarin.Forms, Akavache and I: ensuring protection of sensitive data

There is one post left in this series, which is about using Akavache as image caching solution. I will write that one soon. 

As always, I hope my development articles are helpful for some of you. Until the next time, happy coding, everyone!
