This chapter is about learning how to take C# mobile by building a cross-platform mobile app for iOS, Android, and other mobile platforms. The mobile app will allow the listing and management of customers in the Northwind database.
The mobile app will call the Northwind service that you built with ASP.NET Core Web API in Chapter 16, Building Web Services and Applications Using ASP.NET Core. If you have not built the Northwind service, go back and build it now.
The client-side Xamarin.Forms mobile app will be written with Visual Studio for Mac.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms
- Building mobile apps using Xamarin.Forms
