Xamarin Cross-Platform Development Cookbook: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Xamarin Cross-Platform Development Cookbook" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
You can create native mobile applications using the Xamarin Forms platform for the three major platforms iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. The advantage of this is sharing as much code as you can, such as the UI, business logic, data models, SQLite data access, HTTP data access, and file storage across the three major platforms.This book provide recipes on how to create an architecture that will be maintainable, extendable, use Xamarin Forms plugins to boost productivity, customize your views per platforms, and use platform-specific implementations at runtime.We start with a simple creation of a Xamarin Forms solution with the three major platforms. We will then jump to XAML recipes and you will learn how to create a tabbed application page, and customize the style and behavior of views for each platform. Moving on, you will acquire more advanced knowledge and techniques while implementing views and pages for each platform and also calling native UI screens such as the native camera page.Further on, we demonstrate the power of architecting a cross-platform solution and how to share code between platforms, create abstractions, and inject platform-specific implementations. Next, you will utilize and access hardware features that vary from platform to platform with cross-platform techniques. Well then show you the power of databinding offered by Xamarin Forms and how you can create bindable models and use them in XAML. You will learn how to handle user interactions with the device and take actions in particular events.With all the work done and your application ready, you will master the steps of getting the app ready and publishing it in the app store.What You Will Learn:
Create and customize your cross-platform UI;
Understand and explore cross-platform patterns and practices;
Use the out-of-the-box services to support third-party libraries;
Find out how to get feedback while your application is used by your users;
Bind collections to ListView and customize its appearance with custom cells;
Create shared data access using a local SQLite database and a REST service;
Test and monitor your applications.Gain the skills and expertise to create, test, and deploy native mobile applications in the three major mobile app stores that share up to 95% of the same code.
Learn development techniques that will allow you to use and create custom layouts for each platform, cross-platform UI.
Gain the knowledge needed to become more efficient in testing, deploying, and monitoring your applications, helping you through all stages of the software development life cycle.Who This Book Is For:
This book is for mobile developers. You must have some basic experience of C# programming, but no previous experience with Xamarin is required. If you are just starting with C# and want to use Xamarin todevelop cross-platform apps effectively and efficiently, then this book is the right choice for you.

There is no better time for advancing your toolbox with cross-platform mobile development using Xamarin.Forms. Xamarin has over 1,300,000 registered developers and 15,000 clients, it is now the standard in enterprise mobility, and the demand for cross-platform Xamarin mobile developers is very high. The idea behind Xamarin.Forms is that you're no longer only able to share your business logic but the UI code across iOS, Android and Windows Phone. With Xamarin, you can open your favorite IDE, Visual Studio, or use Xamarin Studio, to create cross-platform applications using C# while still generating and deploying a 100% native platform application.
If you know C#, you know how to create native cross-platform, and this book will just make it easier for you.
You will learn everything available to combine your application and build RAD mobile applications. Even if there is a requirement to work on the native application layers, you will find step-by-step recipes that provide you with the knowledge and understanding of how to accomplish your goal.
Work with the UI in XAML or in code, and learn how every control and page is mapped to each equivalent native UI component. Create custom views, call platform APIs, and explore all the cross-platform types of pages, layouts and controls. Create your own cross-platform plugin, and deploy it to NuGet for other developers or commercial purposes.
At the core of the book, the focus is on cross-platform architecture: how to efficiently share code between all platforms, use the built-in dependency service locator, and configure your solution to use a third-party dependency injection using aspect-oriented programming.
Using a cross-platform UI framework doesn't mean that your UI should be coupled to the rest of your code; in this book, the MVVM architecture is demonstrated by injecting the ViewModel in the XAML and using data binding to sync your data between UI controls and models, keeping clean the separation of concerns.
