In this chapter, we will be moving back into Xamarin native. Our user interface will move away from an MVVM design and follow a new paradigm called Model-View-Presenter (MVP). We will also step further into the backend and setup a SignalR hub and client to simulate a chat service, which data will be sent between the server and clients instantly as the messages become available. Another key topic of focus is project architecture, spending time on separating the project into modules, and creating a nicely tiered structure that will maximize code sharing across different platforms.
The following knowledge is expected:
Some understanding of Xamarin native (iOS and Android)
Visual Studio
Some understanding of the OWIN specification
Some understanding of OAuth
In this chapter, you will learn the following:
The Model-View-Presenter (MVP) pattern
Architecture
SignalR
Starting with Open Web Interface for .NET (OWIN)
Creating an authorization server using OWIN OAuth 2.0...
