Building Xamarin Apps with MonkeyArms

One of the great and maddening things about programming is that there is rarely just one way to accomplish something. This is especially true when it comes to the architecture of your application. While some programming frameworks try to coerce you to use MVC or MVVM, MonkeyArms embraces the fact that not every application should have the same arrangement.

MonkeyArms is more of a toolbox than a blueprint. MonkeyArms provides features that are independent of each other to help solve issues that programmers encounter every day while trying to write clean and portable code. These problems include decoupling, dependency injection, messaging between entities, configuration, integration with legacy code, and testability.
