Getting Started with iOS & Android Development Using Xamarin & Visual Studio
The document provides an overview of Xamarin for mobile development, highlighting three main approaches: silo, black box, and its own method that enables native app creation across platforms using C# and .NET. It discusses the unique benefits of Xamarin, especially through Xamarin.Forms, which allows extensive code sharing and integration. The presentation also includes a demonstration of tools and features available in Xamarin for creating mobile applications.

- 25. What is theXamarin Platform? Xamarin let's you develop, test and monitor your released application for iOS, Android and Windows Phone Xamarin Development Platform TestDesign Develop Integrate Monitor
- 26. Approaches to mobileapp development There are three common ways to creating mobile applications, each with specific strengths and weaknesses Silo Black Box
- 27. Silo approach Can writethe same application multiple times using the vendor's tools iOS App Obj-C Swift XCode Android App Java Eclipse A. Studio Windows App C# Visual Studio
- 28. Black Box approach Canbuild app using high- level tools that convert a single code base (typically in HTML/JavaScript) to an app for each platform
- 29. Xamarin approach Can buildnative apps using C# and .NET, sharing the business logic but leveraging each platform's benefits and paradigms Traditional Xamarin approach
- 30. Xamarin approach Xamarin.Forms enableseven more code-sharing through a shared UI definition when deep platform integration is unnecessary Traditional Xamarin approach Xamarin.Forms approach Xamarin.Forms
- 31. Anything you cando in Objective-C, Swift, or Java can be done in C# (or F#) with Xamarin

Editor's Notes
- #19 3billion smartphones and PCs combined
- #33 Here we are just going to go file new project iOS go through the dialogs, creating a new project, some items that are available, how the connection works with windows and mac. In the project show storyboard editor and drop a button and add an new UIAlertView Android go through the file new dialogs creating a new project and the items that are available. There is no connection there like mac. You can do android development on either mac or windows. Show the layout for the main activitiy emphasis how it’s axml For the existing button show an var t = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
