Overview of this book

The .NET Standard is a standard that represents a set of APIs that all .NET platforms have to implement, making it easy for developers to access and use one common library for their development needs. This book begins with a quick refresher, helping you understand the mechanics of the new standard and offering insight into how it works. You’ll explore the core library concepts, such as working with collections, configurations, I/O, security, and multithreading. You’ll explore the iOS and Android libraries of Xamarin and we’ll guide you through creating a .NET Standard 2.0 library, which you’ll use with both Android and iOS applications. In the final chapters, you’ll learn the various debugging and diagnostics tools to deliver quality libraries and create a NuGet package of the .NET Standard 2.0 library. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to expand your current workflow to various .NET flavors and have the essential skills to create a .NET Standard 2.0 library from scratch to package and deliver it to the world.

Introduction

In this chapter, we will be looking at building an Android application using Visual Studio for Mac. We will also be building a .NET Standard 2.0 class library that the Android application will use. Visual Studio for Mac allows you to build Xamarin-based applications for iOS, Android, and Windows using your favorite C# programming language. It also has F# support by default. In the previous chapter, Chapter 8, To iOS with Xamarin, we talked about how to install Visual Studio for Mac.
