4. Xamarin Approach

Write once run more

Code re-usability

Compiled in nature

5. Xamarin Anatomy

Shared App logic

Uses Xamarin.Forms to produce shared UI

Uses binding with the native language API

6. Shared Project

Cannot compiled alone

Useful when we need sharing code with others

Can contain both shared UI and Logic for different platforms

7. Portable Class Library (PCL)

Compiled alone and produces output to consume in other platform

Useful when we don't need code sharing with others

Can contain both shared UI and Logic for different platforms

No onscreen interface

8. 
One page is one screen
