Cross-platform mobile development using Xamarin and C#Alexey Strakh
Recent increase in demand of the cross-platform mobile development born a few great technologies. Some of them are good, others are not, but just few of them provides native platform experience. Hybrid applications work great in this case. Taking into account responsive design makes it even better. However, users do not need “just functionality” and responsive layout any more. They need, even demand great user experience, which should be attractive, convenient, powerful, responsive and unique. During this session, I want to tell you how Xamarin and Mono help to deliver native experience for iOS, Android, Windows Phone platforms having most of your code reused between platforms and written in C#.
This session will give you an overview of cross-platform development basics for iOS, Android and Windows Phone platforms using Xamarin, .NET and C#
You will know:
- Xamarin concept. MonoTouch & MonoDroid
- Developing under Windows & Mac. Environment requirements.
- Visual Studio vs Xamarin Studio
- MvvmCross libraries
- Utilization of Portable Class Libraries & Project Links for better code sharing

How Xamarin Is Revolutionizing Mobile DevelopmentMentorMate
A look at the business case and strategies for cross-platform development.
Developing a mobile app for multiple platforms represents a major expenditure for businesses. Companies looking for a solution to decrease the total cost of mobile ownership through increased code reuse should look no further than Xamarin.
Cross-platform development with Xamarin allows teams to create fully native apps using the same code base, Visual C#. Depending on the Xamarin platform, teams can reach as high as 90% code reuse in developing mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows. Writing code once and drawing from the same library saves on code redundancy, upkeep and time. Learn how Xamarin development with Xamarin.Forms is transforming enterprise expectations around mobile development creation and maintenance costs.

Presentation we delivered for the the GRMobileDev meetup (http://www.meetup.com/Grand-Rapids-Mobile-Development-Group/events/141015692/) on 10/2/2013. We introduced the Grand Rapids, MI mobile dev community to Xamarin and leveraging C# cross platform.
Going Mobile with C#, Visual Studio, and XamarinMatthew Soucoup
The mobile landscape continues to expand and evolve at a rapid pace. Users expect great native experiences in the palm of their hands on each and every platform. A major hurdle for developers today is the separate programming language and tools to learn and maintain for each platform. Even if you tackle the burden of learning Objective-C, Swift, or Java, you'll still have to manage multiple code bases, which can be a nightmare for any development team large or small. It doesn't have to be this way as you can create Android, iOS, Windows apps leveraging the .NET framework and everything you love about C#.
In this session, you'll learn about the technology that Xamarin offers and how it works to enable developers to leverage a shared C# code base across all mobile platforms. You'll walk through developing, designing, deploying, and optimizing your first mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows from a single code base. You'll even see how to share more code with Xamarin.Forms, which enables you to build native UIs for iOS, Android and Windows from a single, shared C# codebase. You will walk away with the knowledge to build cross platform mobile app with C# features such as LINQ, async/await, events, and delegates and inside of both Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio.
A session at the Sela Developer Practice delivered jointly with Shai Raiten and Ofir Makmal from Sela. We provided an overview of the three primary mobile development paradigms -- native mobile apps (Windows Phone, iOS, Android), Xamarin, and PhoneGap.
C# everywhere: Xamarin and cross platform developmentGill Cleeren
C# is hotter than ever. Using Xamarin, we can use C# to not only build our apps on Windows Phone but also on iOS and Android. The magic that sits between are PCLs (Portable Class Libraries) that we can re-use on all these platforms. The goal is of course achieving the highest level of code sharing and re-using.
In this talk, we'll see how we can share code between Windows Phone, iOS and Android to build a cross-platform app using Xamarin. You'll also see how much of the marketing fluff is real: do we really get a lower time-to-market when sharing code and is this approach really cheaper than building 3 apps separately? Come to this talk and learn all about it
Xamarin Open House talk - Sela Group - Ofir MakmalOfir Makmal
In a 3 hours talk, I have covered some pros and cons about going the native way, the HTML\JS\CSS hybrid way, and of course, Xamarin.

Mobile Cross-Platform App Development in C# with XamarinNick Landry
Building native applications across multiple platforms is hard. iOS requires knowledge of Xcode, the iOS SDK and Objective-C or Swift. Android requires Eclipse (or Android Studio), the Android SDK and Java. The Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform requires Visual Studio, C# and the WinRT SDK. Are we really expected to learn all of this? You can take the HTML5 & Cordova route, but not all apps should be built using a hybrid approach. If you want to create a truly competitive app with a premium experience, you’ll need to go native. Fortunately, there is a way you can share a lot of your code across mobile platforms and do so using the C# language you already know and love. Xamarin is a powerful toolset that allows developers to write native Android and iOS apps using C#, thanks to the Mono framework – an Open Source project that brings the C# language and .NET to other platforms. This session explores how you can build cross-platform applications for iOS, Android, and Windows using C#. You’ll learn how to get started with a sample cross-platform solution, which tools you can use, how to design a proper user interface for each platform and how to structure your projects for maximum code reuse. We’ll also look at how you can share UI code with Xamarin.Forms. Native mobile development doesn’t have to be so hard. Come learn how your .NET skills can be transformed for true cross-platform development.

Video: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/Europe/2014/DEV-B306
Abstract:
Visual Studio developers have two powerful options for developing multi-device applications: Cordova and Xamarin. Cordova support in Visual Studio enables you to ship mobile applications written with HTML/JS, while Xamarin enables developers to use Visual Studio to write native applications for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone using C#. This session shows you how to use the Microsoft Office 365 APIs in mobile device applications built in these project types to take advantage of the many services in Office 365. The Office 365 APIs make available the following services: Azure Active Directory Users and Groups, Files (OneDrive and OneDrive for Business), Mail, Calendar, Contacts and SharePoint Sites. See some examples of Xamarin and Cordova applications running. Understand the scenarios where you would use Office 365 APIs in mobile device applications. Finally, learn how to get started with Office 365 APIs in Xamarin and Cordova Visual Studio Projects.
The Great Mobile Debate: Native vs. Hybrid App DevelopmentNick Landry
It’s not easy being a mobile developer. iOS and Android dominate the market, Windows Phone is climbing into third place, and we’re not really sure if BlackBerry still matters. Do you focus on one platform or many? What size of the mobile population do you really want to reach? Each mobile platform comes with its own programming languages, SDKs, IDEs and application lifecycle & architecture. Are we really expected to learn all of this? Isn’t HTML5 supposed to be the Silver Bullet so we can finally write apps once and run them everywhere? This session will demystify all these questions, walking you through the modern mobile ecosystem, and explore your options as a developer. We’ll review the native story on each major platform, discuss the pros & cons of both mobile native and web development, cover some of the cross-platform solutions available to developers, and explore best practices and guidelines to insure a successful mobile strategy. Don’t just blindly pick a side or assume that “one size fits all”, this session covers one of the most hotly contested debates in modern IT. Come join us and be a part of the conversation.
Chicago Coder Conference 2015
Building cross-platform native UIs with one shared codebase was once just a dream. With Xamarin.Forms, this dream is now a reality. Xamarin.Forms allows you to build a native UI for three platforms with one shared C# codebase. Simply put, if you know C# then you already know how to build iOS, Android, and Windows Phone apps. Leverage the .NET Framework to build out your shared business logic including integration with web services and Azure Mobile Services and then build out your shared UI in
C# or XAML. Xamarin.Forms also features a built-in two-way data binding, dependency service to help you implement platform-specific code, an advanced cross-platform animation system, support for custom controls, and lots of other powerful features to help you build the best apps possible in the least amount of time.
During this session we will cover the Xamarin platform and the brand new Xamarin.Forms library to share even more code across iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. Moreover, we will really focus on the code with several live coding adventures throughout the entire session. When you leave you will have the knowledge to create your first iOS, Android, and Windows Phone mobile apps in C# with Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

UI build natively per platform, leveraging C#
C# + XAML
C# + XML
C# + XIB
One shared app logic code base, iOS, Android, Mac, Windows Phone, Windows Store, Windows
Xamarin recently introduced Xamarin.Forms a new library for cross platform user interface. We will touch up on this later, but this enables you to be highly productive, share code, but build out UI on each platform and access platform APIs.
With Xamarin.Forms you now have a nice Shared UI Code layer, but still access to platform APIs
You can start from native, pick a few screens, or start with forms, and replace with native later
Xamarin.Forms is much more that just a framework and includes everything you need to get up and running to build out full native applications.
If you are used to MVVM type of development you will feel right at home.
Let’s talk a bit about C# and why it is awesome.
Statically typed so you avoid a pitfall of errors that afflict other languages.
Use LINQ in your Xamarin projects to query, filter and select data from in-memory arrays, or from databases such as SQLite.
Parsing XML is easy
Setting up event handling is a breeze
Intellisense, lambdas, etc. are all awesome.
Use your favorite libraries like Json.NET!
Here is an example of creating a class with a method to get names
1 Line with LINQ to execute this command
Take advantage of C# features and set properties easily
The async and await keywords in C# 5.0 now available to Xamarin developers make asynchronous programming incredibly pleasant.
You end up with code that is much more linear and much easier to understand.
The compiler does a lot of magic for you which simplifies your code and your life.
Let’s talk a bit about why you would choose Xamarin as your development platform.
If you have ever developed for a Windows Platform before these .NET namespaces might look familiar.
However, if we go to a new platform such as Windows Phone or Store we have a new SDK to use and a new set of namespaces.
You can think of iOS and Android development the same with Xamarin. You can see we have all of our .NET namespaces and libraries, but Xamarin give us 100% api coverage of each iOS API in it’s SDK that we access view C#.
The same is true for Android as well.
There is no compromise on performance.
Xamarin apps look and feel native because they are native.
Apple has a developer preview where Xamarin has alphas ready. Google does not offer this.
Android versions are usually 4 to 8 weeks out for a stable release, but alphas and betas are usually earlier.
Xamarin realizes how important having iOS ready because within 24 hours a large portion of iOS users upgrade
Android on the other hand is much different. After 4 months on the market Android 4.4 only had 1% adoption
iCircuit is made by Frank Krueger, a long time Mono & Xamarin developer.
Sharing code lead to 70 to 90% code reuse across platforms speeding up development

If you look at the wide range of devices there is no way to tackle everything. These are low numbers for just the top manufactures on Android.
Looking at just a few of the screen sizes of Samsung devices you couldn’t even fit all of them on the screen, so how do you handle this problem?
Test Cloud enables you to write Automated Test in C# to run against hundreds of physical devices. This means you get real results from real devices to you know how your app will look, feel, and act on a wide range of devices before your users run into issues.
Xamarin UITest is a framework that ties in directly to the Nunit testing framework to write the UI tests. You can even run them directly against a simulator for free to do regression tests on your applications.
Demo time if so desired
Several enterprise component vendors announced their support for Xamarin.Forms. Enabling developers to use beautiful charts, grids, and other controls from their shared C# code.

A consumer music streaming company founded by the guys who founded Skype, 18 million tracks. Millions and millions of users in 17 countries. When we talked to them 3 years ago, they had a problem: three codebases on three platforms, the same app implemented 3 times for iOS, Android and Windows. When they wanted to add a new feature, they had to do it 3x. Now their apps are built on Xamarin and they are sharing >50,000 lines of code on each device, and delivering a gorgeous user experience
