      Top 10 Xamarin Tips and Traps - Charles Pluta

      Chapter 1

      Accessing Xamarin resources

      Learning how to use Xamarin and its components to develop native applications is like learning how to ride a bicycle: It might seem difficult or complicated at first, but becomes simple with practice. As with anything that you learn to do the first time, preparation is a crucial element of success. There are common pitfalls, mistakes, or oversights that can occur for even the most experienced developer. Fortunately, there are tons (literally, if you printed them!) of resources available to help ensure your success. These include resources from the following providers: Xamarin SDKs

      Xamarin University

      Xamarin Developer Center

      Xamarin on edX

      Microsoft Virtual Academy

      Third-party resources

      Xamarin SDKs

      The source code for Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Mac, Xamarin.Android, and Xamarin.Forms is available from the Xamarin website at http://open.xamarin.com

      as well as on the Xamarin GitHub

      . The open source nature of Xamarin enables you to create native apps for any device in C# or F#. You can also take advantage of open source bindings and native libraries for Facebook and Google Play, as well as useful functions such as messaging and GPS.

      The source code, bindings, and libraries are available through the Xamarin GitHub. (For more information, see TIP: Using GitHub resources

      .)

      Xamarin University

      Xamarin University is an online platform that provides live and interactive training, including five free, on-demand classes in the Visual Studio Dev Essentials program. Xamarin University also offers self-guided classes, such as those shown in Figure 1, that you can work through at your own pace to learn
