Description

Learn the bare essentials needed to begin developing cross-platform, mobile apps using Xamarin.Forms.

Apps can be easily deployed to Google Play or to the Apple App Store.

You will gain insight on architecture and how to arrange your app's design, where to begin developing, what pitfalls exist, and how to avoid them.

Also covered are expected new features in Xamarin.Forms 3.0, so you may be prepared ahead of time for what the next release brings.

Xamarin.Forms Essentials provides a brief history of Xamarin as a company, including how their product has become one of the most-used, cross-platform technologies for enterprise applications and app development across the world.
