In the course Xamarin Fundamentals participants learn to create cross platform mobile apps with the Xamarin Framework. With Xamarin the same code base can be used to develop apps that work on iPad and iPhone devices as well as Android devices. Visual Studio .NET is used as development environment and C# as programming language.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Finally attention is paid to how you can access databases from apps and to the use of location services and the camera.
The course Xamarin Fundamentals is intended for developers who want to use the Xamarin Framework for the creation of cross-platform mobile apps for iOS en Android.
To participate in this course knowledge and experience with programming in C# or Java is required. Experience with Visual Studio and Mono for Android is desirable.
The theory is discussed on the basis of presentation slides and is interspersed with exercises. Illustrative demos are used to clarify the concepts. The course material is in English.
After successful completion of the course, participants receive an official certificate Xamarin Fundamentals.
