Xamarin Dev Days 2016 introduction to xamarin
This document promotes the #XamarinDevDays event and discusses the benefits of using Xamarin to build mobile apps. It notes that Xamarin allows sharing of C# code across iOS, Android and Windows platforms while providing full native API access. It highlights features like using C# and Visual Studio for mobile development, drag-and-drop UI creation, and how Xamarin apps can be deployed to Apple's App Store and Google Play. Charts show usage statistics for Xamarin in existing apps. The document also provides contact information for an MVP speaker at the event.

Editor's Notes
- #10 Xamarin is your complete mobile solution. Xamarin Platform is usually what you hear about which is building native iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows Apps all in C# However Xamarin offers a wide range of products for developers to go mobile including Test Cloud, Hockey App, and a way to learn all of mobile with University.
- #11 So we know what we want how do we get there? Let’s talk about the state of mobile development.
- #12 Multiple Teams Multiple Code Bases Expensive & Slow Positive = Great apps delivered to user’s platform Negative = Development hampered by multiple code bases & fragmentation
- #13 Unhappy Users Unhappy Developers Increase in Abandoned Apps Limited to what is implemented
- #19 Coming up next is bubbles
- #28 Xamarin Studio on Mac offers: Android, iOS and Mac development World Class IDE with great features: Code Analysis Upload to Test Flight Git & Subversion Integration Code Completion Code Navigation Easy transition from Visual Studio The same Solution & Projects open in BOTH Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio!
