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. By the end of this mobile application development book, you'll be able to create cross-platform mobile applications that can be deployed as cloud-based PaaS and SaaS.

Chapter 4: Developing Mobile Applications with Xamarin

When you're dealing with cross-platform development with Xamarin, it is important to understand that the application source cannot be completely cross-platform. The platform-agnostic modules of a Xamarin application vary, depending on the application's content, as well as the development approach that's used. Xamarin classic and Xamarin.Forms are two different approaches used to create native applications for (mainly) iOS and Android platforms. While Xamarin classic uses a more native approach, literally migrating the native platform implementation strategy to the .NET ecosystem, Xamarin.Forms delivers an additional abstraction layer for the native UI implementation.

In this chapter, we will learn about Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms development strategies and create a Xamarin.Forms application that we will develop throughout the remainder of this book. We will also discuss architectural models and design patterns...
