Xamarin.Forms a Quick Start

First Mvvm Quick Start With Xamarin.Forms


Xamarin.Forms is a cool addition to the Xamarin offering. Xamarin.Forms is a layer built on top of Xamarin that allows developers to create apps for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone using a single codebase. This lowers the barrier of entry significantly for .NET developers to write mobile apps. Xamarin.Forms offers a suite of controls and layouts that can be used to build up applications that will look like native applications on each of the supported platforms. These controls allow developers to add a mobile user interface to their applications which will interact with their .NET code under the hood. Being able to work in the familiar .NET environment and leverage existing .NET code is a huge plus for .NET developers.
