Learning Xamarin–Part 1 Forms

Today I officially launch my new blog series on learning cross-platform mobile development with Xamarin

Xamarin should be perfect for me because

  • I really want to learn iOS and Android programming but don’t want to code in Java or (God help me) Objective-C

  • My computer is a MacBook Pro running Parallels
  • I have a subscription to Xamarin University, which will ease the way considerably [1]
