Course Description

As mobile developers, we want to create the polished user experience that a native app can provide. At the same time, we’d like to share code across platforms to make our development process more efficient—including our UI code! With the continuing evolution of Xamarin.Forms, sharing UI code across platforms has become easier and easier.
