MVP for 2025 I'm really pleased and humbled to have been re-awarded the Microsoft MVP award for 2025. This year I've been awarded in the .NET category as my focus has been on .NET MAUI and .NET across multiple platforms. When I started on the MVP journey in 2003 it was for the .NET Compact Framework so I'm very lucky to have continued to use .NET from the simple Pocket PC through to todays phones and tablets. Congratulations to all the new and renewed MVPs, it is a great community to be a part of.

Writing NFC Tags in .NET I first added NFC code to 32feet.NET back in 2020. However, as other priorities came along it never got fully polished and released on NuGet. This year I finally got around to it and updated the code for .NET 8.0 as it had originally targeted Xamarin Forms. InTheHand.Nfc is available on NuGet and follows the API model of WebNFC - it supports reading and writing NDEF tags as this is the most widely used format for providing Urls, text and other custom data types.

32feet – Bluetooth LE Device Discovery on iOS When I created the InTheHand.BluetoothLE library I modeled the API on WebBluetooth as this gave a simple API surface but as it was designed to run within a browser sandbox some of the functionality is intentionally limited. For device discovery the API only provides a selection dialog. One of the most requested features early-on was the ability to do device discovery in code so that the results could be displayed directly in your own app UI.
