What I like about this book as an intro to Xamerin mobile development is1) it takes a step by step approach creating actual mobile appa2) it does a good job explaining the background technology in play (ex. mono, .Net Standard, etc)3) it covers Azure services that have real world use for mobile applicationAfter laying a good technical foundation the book jumps into having you create a calculator app using Xamerin.Android, then creating it using Xamerin.iOs and then creating it again using Xamerin.Forms. This is a great hands way to demonstrate some of the key aspects of doing Xamerin development. It then goes on to explain that Xamarin can be used to target other devices as well including iOS or Android based appliances, watches, or even specialized platforms like Tizen.The book also covers doing the same calculator app using UWP, but I personally found that less interesting because I was more interested in the mobile development aspect of the book. Still, for some it will not doubt be interesting to see the same app (more or less) running as a UWP app.The author is very mindful that when targeting multiple platforms devs want to re-use as much code as possible. So, he makes a point of calling out opportunities to do that, which is helpful. He does this both from an architecture perspective and a pattern and practices perspective.Later in the book he moves into discussion regarding more advanced mobile applications and throws light on many of the considerations that come into play. The book has lots of code and is a good mix of explanation and actual code that demonstrates the point discussed.There are demonstrations of many of the standard Xamarin controls as well as different types of form view. It also covers customizing existing UI views and implementing custom native elements.This is a meaty book that can take a developer from zero mobile development experience to having real hands on experience doing Xamerin mobile development and leveraging Azure as a cloud based data store. It has lots of advice, best practices and patterns throughout. It'll be awhile before I get all the way through this book but even with what I've read so far, I'm quite pleased.

This book is possibly the most in-depth resource on Xamarin I've read thus far.My review would be far too long if I mention everything it covers, but know that it covers what you need to know about the tiers of the .NET infrastructure, the difference between Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms, and incorporating Azure Services (Cosmos DB, Application Insights), and much more.This was an excellent resource to refresh my knowledge and get up-to-date on using Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms.

The headline says it all. This book is a good book to get you started with building native applications with .NET using Xamarin and Azure services. The book itself is a little light on the examples for mobile development, however, it gives an overview of all the pieces that make a successful mobile application. This includes understanding .NET and Xamarin, as well as certain Azure Cloud services that enable highly interactive mobile development.As a bonus, with the author being an architect, there is a lot in the book on patterns and the full application life cycle.This book can be helpful for more than just mobile development in .NET.

Works well with Visual Studio. If you are using the current version of Goigle development software you may have difficulty following the book with the app

The book takes the reader from the basics to the advanced in mobile development using Xamarin.The content is up to date and shows the use of .NET 5. The author also covers the use of features and services in the cloud using Azure. The author makes clear the use of modern development patterns.This book is, in fact, a complete book for .NET mobile developers.
