    Xamarin Intro

    The course Xamarin Fundamentals starts with a discussion of setting up the Xamarin development environment, the structure of Xamarin projects and the available Xamarin Tools.

    Cross Platform Development

    Subsequently the general characteristics of cross platform development such as the use of shared projects and portable class libraries are treated. Attention is paid to Mono for Android which has become a great platform for creating apps for Android.

    User Interfaces

    Attention is also paid to the creation of the User Interfaces for apps in both iOS and Android, in which Xamarin Forms plays an important role.

    Activities and View Controllers

    Working with Activities in Android and View Controllers in iOS is also covered. And the lifecycle methods in iOS and Android apps are treated as well.

    REST APIs

    Then the focus is set to how you can deal with REST Web Services and the different data formats such as XML and JSON in Xamarin. Asynchronous calls and asynchronous handling with async and await is next on the program of the course Xamarin Fundamentals.

    Database Access

    Finally attention is paid to how you can access databases from apps and to the use of location services and the camera.
