Xamarin on Steroids: Xamarin Forms Shell and MVVM

Hey,

Do you know what’s the most important currency in the world?

And no, it’s no bitcoin.

It’s time.

Once you spend it, there is no way to get it back.

Do you want to know how to build a native Android and iOS app at the same time?

By using the Xamarin Forms framework.

What is the Xamarin Forms framework?

It is a free cross–platform framework for building native mobile applications on Windows or macOS. You can develop both iOS and Android native apps at the same time. Think about it! You write one code, but you can run the app on both the iOS platform and on the Android platform.

The output from the Xamarin SDK is the fully native app.

But wait, it gets even better…

Do you know that you can even speed up your development with Xamarin Forms?

Yes, it’s possible. Just use Xamarin Forms Shell.

Shell is a framework you can use to build side menus and tab bar pages quicker in Xamarin Forms.

It provides you with a simple code syntax for building the above–mentioned features. So that you don’t waste your time on those features that are so common to mobile apps. And focus instead on app–specific functionality.
