Overview of this book

Are you a .NET developer who wishes to develop mobile solutions without delving into the complexities of a mobile development platform? If so, this book is a perfect solution to help you build professional mobile apps without leaving the .NET ecosystem. Mobile Development with .NET will show you how to design, architect, and develop robust mobile applications for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and UWP using Xamarin, .NET Core, and Azure. With the help of real-world scenarios, you'll explore different phases of application development using Xamarin, from environment setup, design, and architecture to publishing. Throughout the book, you'll learn how to develop mobile apps using Xamarin and .NET Standard. You'll even be able to implement a web-based backend composed of microservices with .NET Core using various Azure services including, but not limited to, Azure Active Directory, Azure Functions. As you advance, you'll create data stores using popular database technologies such as Cosmos DB and data models such as the relational model and NoSQL.

Chapter 3: Developing with Universal Windows Platform

Universal Windows Platform (UWP) is a common API layer that allows developers to create applications for various platforms, from desktop PCs to niche devices such as HoloLens. Compared to the Xamarin setup, UWP applications are a little more coupled with .NET Framework and runtime components. UWP makes use of two completely different sets of .NET Framework: .NET Native and .NET Core. Here, .NET Core acts as the BCL library, while .NET Native is part of the application model.

This chapter will discuss the components that allow UWP apps to be portable within the Windows 10 ecosystem and how they are associated with .NET. We will recreate the calculator example from the previous chapter for the Universal Windows Platform using Xamarin.Forms, and then try to identify the differences between Xamarin.Forms and UWP from a XAML perspective. We will also look at how .NET Native can be utilized for UWP.
