Course Description
In this course you will learn how to use Xamarin.Forms to create cross-platform UI solutions that work across Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. Building on the rich features of Xamarin's cross-platform .NET library and C# support, Xamarin.Forms provides a natively-backed UI toolkit that enables you to create user interfaces that run across Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. This course covers both code-based UI creation with the Xamarin.Forms API and declarative UI creation with XAML.Topics discussed include application navigation using the different Xamarin.Forms Page classes, UI structure with Xamarin.Forms' Layout classes, and the wide variety of View classes. This course also covers more advanced cross-platform topics such as Xamarin.Form's Device class, Dependency Service, and Message Center.
