Monthly Xamarin Meetup

Getting Fabulous With Xamarin and MVU

You are probably familiar with Xamarin but did you know that Microsoft is putting lots of energy and resources into making it the best cross-platform framework for your mobile development needs? It true - and as the mobile application development industry evolves, Xamarin is evolving also. In this session, we will look at today's most popular design pattern: Model-View-Update. Microsoft and the open source .NET community have implemented M-V-U using Fabulous, a F# port of the Elm pattern. We will take a brief overview of Fabulous and then look under the hood at a working application that uses it
