N=35 - MultiBinding with Tibet - N+1 Videos of MvvmCross

Fresh from the heat and Summer-sunshine of London, today's N+1 introduces the new 'Tibet' binding engine.


This binding engine is built on top of the old 'Swiss' engine - so should be fully backwards compatible.


In addition to all the awesome syntax you had in Swiss, you can now take advantage of:

• Multi-binding
• Simple combination operators
• The `Format` combination operator
• The `If` combination operator
• Recursive nesting of combinations and of value conversions
• Function-style invocation of value converters

There's some good documentation on Tibet binding being authored over on https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/wiki/Databinding#tibet


This includes examples like:

   Value Format('Hello {1} - today is {0:ddd MMM yyyy}', TheDate, Name)

and

   Text Length(Trim(FirstName + ' ' + LastName))

Tibet has proven quite a hard topic for me to introduce... but I've had a go in this intro video:
