This course answers these questions and more. By the end of the course, you will be able to choose the Xamarin approach that is right for you. You will also set up your development machine and run an app on Windows, the iOS simulator, and an Android emulator.

The first step in becoming a Xamarin.Android developer is getting an app up and running. This course takes you through the entire development process. You will create a new project in Visual Studio, code the user interface and behavior for an Activity, build the project, and test it on an Android emulator. You’ll also see how to keep your development environment up-to-date as new Android versions are released.

TXWI101 - Introduction to Xamarin.iOS
The first step in becoming a Xamarin.iOS developer is getting an app up and running. This course takes you through the entire development process. You will create a new project in Visual Studio, code the user interface and behavior, build the project, and test it on an iPhone simulator. As you build your app, you will learn several iOS design patterns such as Model-View-Controller, protocols, and delegates.
