In this chapter we explored how to go about creating a Xamarin.Forms
cross-platform application for both iOS and Android platforms. We then moved on to building a series of content pages with static data.
Next, we looked at how to use the default Xamarin.Forms
navigation APIs to help move between each of the content pages, which we will refactor quite a bit when we cover this in Chapter 3, Navigating within the MVVM Model - The Xamarin.Forms Way to use a more flexible, customized navigation service. Finally, we talked about some of the differences between using Xamarin Studio and Microsoft Visual Studio for development, before running our TrackMyWalks
app within the simulator.
In the next chapter, you will learn about the concepts behind the Model-View-View-Model (MVVM) pattern architecture, how to implement the MVVM model within your application, and the process of how to add new ViewModels to your Xamarin solution.
