This document discusses cross-platform development using C# and C++. It explains that using Portable Class Libraries allows developers to compile code once and know it will work on all target platforms. It also notes that Shared Projects allow including platform-specific code using preprocessor directives or partial classes. The document promotes these cross-platform techniques and provides contact information for the author.

10. Portable
Class Libraries
I compile just once
and know it works
on all platforms
Shared
Projects
I can easily include
platform-specific code
under #if or partial
classes
New! Improved!
