Xamarin developers can access these new APIs right now with our recently announced preliminary support in Xamarin.Android. With Google expected to release Android L fully this fall, it will be increasingly important to take advantage of these new APIs and get your app up-to-date. In the slides from our Android L and So Much More webinar on Tuesday, September 16th, Developer Evangelist James Montemagno walks through the top new and updated APIs in the release. In addition to everything new in the Android L Developer Preview, he also covers everything new in the Google Play Services, Support Libraries, Android Wear, and Android TV SDKs.

A look at the business case and strategies for cross-platform development. Developing a mobile app for multiple platforms represents a major expenditure for businesses. Companies looking for a solution to decrease the total cost of mobile ownership through increased code reuse should look no further than Xamarin. Cross-platform development with Xamarin allows teams to create fully native apps using the same code base, Visual C#. Depending on the Xamarin platform, teams can reach as high as 90% code reuse in developing mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows. Writing code once and drawing from the same library saves on code redundancy, upkeep and time. Learn how Xamarin development with Xamarin.Forms is transforming enterprise expectations around mobile development creation and maintenance costs.

It also introduces MVVMCross, an MVVM framework that works with Xamarin to further facilitate code sharing and separation of concerns across mobile platforms. Sample code is provided to demonstrate these concepts.

Xamarin allows developers to build native iOS, Android, and Windows apps using C# and shared codebases. Developers can use Visual Studio on Windows or Xamarin Studio on Mac to build apps that share a common C# backend while having truly native UIs. Xamarin's tools include Xamarin.Forms for building cross-platform UIs, test frameworks, and services for distributing, getting feedback, and monitoring apps in the wild. Xamarin allows building mobile apps faster by sharing significant code across platforms while still delivering high performance native experiences.

The document discusses the future of mobile apps and the Xamarin platform. It introduces Xamarin as a way to build native iOS and Android apps using C# and shared code, covers developing apps for iOS and Android with Xamarin, and discusses testing apps and monitoring app usage with Xamarin tools. The presentation includes code samples and demos of creating mobile apps with Xamarin.

Building native applications across multiple platforms is hard. iOS requires knowledge of Xcode, the iOS SDK and Objective-C or Swift. Android requires Eclipse (or Android Studio), the Android SDK and Java. The Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform requires Visual Studio, C# and the WinRT SDK. Are we really expected to learn all of this? You can take the HTML5 & Cordova route, but not all apps should be built using a hybrid approach. If you want to create a truly competitive app with a premium experience, you’ll need to go native. Fortunately, there is a way you can share a lot of your code across mobile platforms and do so using the C# language you already know and love. Xamarin is a powerful toolset that allows developers to write native Android and iOS apps using C#, thanks to the Mono framework – an Open Source project that brings the C# language and .NET to other platforms. This session explores how you can build cross-platform applications for iOS, Android, and Windows using C#. You’ll learn how to get started with a sample cross-platform solution, which tools you can use, how to design a proper user interface for each platform and how to structure your projects for maximum code reuse. We’ll also look at how you can share UI code with Xamarin.Forms. Native mobile development doesn’t have to be so hard. Come learn how your .NET skills can be transformed for true cross-platform development.

The mobile landscape continues to expand and evolve at a rapid pace. Users expect great native experiences in the palm of their hands on each and every platform. A major hurdle for developers today is the separate programming language and tools to learn and maintain for each platform. Even if you tackle the burden of learning Objective-C, Swift, or Java, you'll still have to manage multiple code bases, which can be a nightmare for any development team large or small. It doesn't have to be this way as you can create Android, iOS, Windows apps leveraging the .NET framework and everything you love about C#. In this session, you'll learn about the technology that Xamarin offers and how it works to enable developers to leverage a shared C# code base across all mobile platforms. You'll walk through developing, designing, deploying, and optimizing your first mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows from a single code base. You'll even see how to share more code with Xamarin.Forms, which enables you to build native UIs for iOS, Android and Windows from a single, shared C# codebase. You will walk away with the knowledge to build cross platform mobile app with C# features such as LINQ, async/await, events, and delegates and inside of both Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio.
