Building mobile applications for multiple applications can be a handful - different IDEs, languages, and platform APIs. With Xamarin, all of that is converged with Microsoft's .NET framework and Xamarin, an open source C# solution for writing cross platform mobile applications which export native code. This session will give you the information you need to understand Xamarin.Forms, which allows you to re-use one code base for both your front and back-end code. You will live demos illustrating how easy it is to simultaneously create your app for iOS, Android, and the Universal Windows Platform.

About the Author

I am a construction worker turned Technical Evangelist at Microsoft and based out of Philadelphia, PA. My biggest passion is in working with students and startups across the country, to help get their projects off the ground. My work frequently has me building projects on game consoles, the web, and high performance mobile applications. My role has me speaking in front of audiences of all ages and technical backgrounds on a weekly basis. From that experience, I've learned to put on dynamic and engaging presentations which keep the audience involved in a dialogue, instead of being lectured to.
