Introduction
This book is a hands-on Xamarin.Forms primer and a cross-platform reference for building native Android, iOS, and Windows Phone apps using C# and .NET.
If you think of the Xamarin platform as a pyramid with Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS at its base and Xamarin.Forms on top, that’s what this book covers with C#. Mobile UI makes up the lion’s share of the pyramid, and this book explores the important concepts, elements, and recipes using Xamarin layouts, controls, and lists.
The burning question in many new Xamarin projects is this: is Xamarin.Forms right for my project? This book covers the salient considerations in the comparison of the Xamarin.Forms option vs. a platform-specific approach with Xamarin.Android or Xamarin.iOS.
