Additional resources for cross-platform developers

Xamarin Developer Center is your launching point to documentation, code examples, and training videos provided by the Xamarin team (http://docs.xamarin.com).

Xamarin Forums are an excellent place to start. You can sign up using the same login you used to download Xamarin Studio. Take time on a regular basis to read through the posts. You will be amazed by the development gems you will pick up, even from casually reviewing the topics (http://forums.xamarin.com).

Xamarin's Bugzilla server is an important site to become familiar with. If you find bugs in the software, this site will help you inform the community. Likewise, you can research a bug to see if someone else has already posted it; if so, see whether a workaround exists until a fix can be pushed out (https://bugzilla.xamarin.com).

In addition to the Apple Developer Program, you should familiarize yourself with the Apple Developer Library, which contains documentation on developing all things on Apple (https://developer.apple.com/library/).

The iTunes University offers many resources on iOS and mobile development completely free of charge (https://www.apple.com/apps/itunes-u/).

Android Developer Library contains a wealth of information on mobile development. If you are new to Android development, take the time to review the App Fundamentals tutorial at https://developer.android.com/guide/index.html.

GenyMotion provides some of the fastest Android emulators for app testing and presentation (http://www.genymotion.com/).
