Topic

Xamarin's tools allow you to easily build fully native iOS and Android apps right from Visual Studio. In this session we'll start at the beginning, walking through what these tools offer and how you can take advantage of them to start developing your own mobile apps.

Along the way we'll take a look at things like the built-in iOS and Android interface designers, strategies for sharing code across platforms, the basics of iOS and Android, Xamarin.Forms, the component store, and much more.

This will be an interactive session with plenty of code and discussion, so bring any questions you might have!
