Xamarin.Forms CollectionView Alternating Row Colors

Very quick Xamarin How-To this week with a simple converter. Alternating row colours in a CollectionView is quite often a design requirement and I wanted to create a simple, reusable converter to solve this. The Converter [crayon-617094a7435cd971895048/] Using the Converter in XAML [crayon-617094a7435d5566867370/]There you go, nice and simple, easy to follow

Xamarin.Forms Maps – Getting Location & Radius of User’s Input

Recently I have had to navigate through Xamarin.Forms Maps for a project. After some documentation reading I found that XF Maps does not offer a lot of the customisation and functionality of the native map libraries (MapKit and Google Maps). This left me having to write some custom renderers to complete the project's requirements.
