Event Details: http://www.meetup.com/SeattleMobileDevelopers/events/146547542/
Mobile continues to expand and evolve at a rapid pace. Users expect great experiences in the palm of their hands on each and ever platform. However, each platform has it's own programming language and tools to learn and maintain. Managing multiple code bases can be a nightmare, but did you know that you use Xamarin Technology to developer mobile apps on Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows 8, and Mac all with a shared code base written in C# and the .NET framework? Come learn how to create a full shared code base for all of your mobile apps using Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS. We will discuss multiple techniques on how to setup, develop, deploy, and optimize your apps for the highest code reuse possible.
