Synopsis: A recipe-based practical guide to get you up and running with Xamarin cross-platform developmentAbout This BookGain the skills and expertise to create, test, and deploy native mobile applications in the three major mobile app stores that share up to 95% of the same codeLearn development techniques that will allow you to use and create custom layouts for each platform, cross-platform UIGain the knowledge needed to become more efficient in testing, deploying, and monitoring your applications, helping you through all stages of the software development life cycleWho This Book Is ForWhat You Will LearnCreate and customize your cross-platform UIUnderstand and explore cross-platform patterns and practicesUse the out-of-the-box services to support third-party librariesFind out how to get feedback while your application is used by your usersBind collections to ListView and customize its appearance with custom cellsCreate shared data access using a local SQLite database and a REST serviceTest and monitor your applicationsIn DetailStyle and approach This book is for mobile developers. You must have some basic experience of C# programming, but no previous experience with Xamarin is required. If you are just starting with C# and want to use Xamarin todevelop cross-platform apps effectively and efficiently, then this book is the right choice for you. You can create native mobile applications using the Xamarin Forms platform for the three major platforms iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. The advantage of this is sharing as much code as you can, such as the UI, business logic, data models, SQLite data access, HTTP data access, and file storage across the three major platforms. This book provide recipes on how to create an architecture that will be maintainable, extendable, use Xamarin Forms plugins to boost productivity, customize your views per platforms, and use platform-specific implementations at runtime. We start with a simple creation of a Xamarin Forms solution with the three major platforms. We will then jump to XAML recipes and you will learn how to create a tabbed application page, and customize the style and behavior of views for each platform. Moving on, you will acquire more advanced knowledge and techniques while implementing views and pages for each platform and also calling native UI screens such as the native camera page.
