Xamarin.Forms for Cross Platform Mobile Apps

Xamarin.Forms is a new framework that allows mobile application developers to write portable apps for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone with nearly 100% reusable code while still maintaining a native look and feel for each platform. This talk will cover the basics of using Xamarin.Forms from building a basic application using XAML and MVVM to using custom renderers to customize the application for each platform.

Adam Kemp is a Senior Software Engineer at National Instruments with 3 years of Xamarin experience. He has been a tech lead on several large Xamarin-based mobile applications including Data Dashboard (iOS and Android) and VirtualBench (iOS), both freely available in their respective app stores. You can find him on Twitter (@TheRealAdamKemp), his blog (blog.adamkemp.com (http://blog.adamkemp.com/)), and on the Xamarin Forums (adamkemp).
