NET Core 3.0 – Modern Cross-Platform Development - Fourth Edition Tip: If you're looking for an awesome book to start with, try the Packt/Mark J. I don't think this is a book for beginners to C#, XAML or Xamrin, but if you already have some knowledge on these, and want to build an app, this is definitely recommended to start your journey. This book provides a good insight on how to write an application from beginning to end, including the refactoring from "code behind" to MVVM (Model View View-Model), how to use Dependency Injection, notions of User Experience and how to leverage your UI to maximize it and display a native control based on their OS/Device, an overview on how to use and implement an API and Authentication with Azure Functions, how to test your application and ways to monitor and get analytics about your app.Įach one of the topics referred above can be covered exclusively in a book (or more) but this book provides you a structured and solid example on how to use these techniques to build a multi-platform app from the ground up. Share facebook twitter linkedin email Tags Xamarin.Xamarin Forms allows you to not only share the business across different platforms when developing using Xamarin, but also the UI, leveraging your existing skills of XAML if you come from a C#/XAML background you'll feel at home. Not because this explains any particular topic in great detail, but because it gives the reader a great understanding of all the different topics and solutions in the Xamarin.Forms ecosystem. I'm planning to recommend this book or future editions to my team and new team members. I really enjoyed reading this book and as a Dyslexic programmer I was able to read this book over a weekend. This book provides a great reference with examples for me to reference next time I go to implement Authentication Overall: Great Book For example, every single time I implement Authentication I need to look up a blog, documentation or how I did last time. Great ReferenceĮach chapter is broken down to concrete topics such asĪs each chapter tells the developer's story, they also serve as a great reference to look up in the future. I enjoyed seeing walkthrough tutorial style chapters that explained with images how to use Visual Studio or the Azure portal when creating Azure Functions. Even the complicated chapters provide clear code samples and guides so the beginner should not get too confused. Easy to ComplicatedĮvery chapter builds upon itself from building a UI in XAML to advanced techniques such as Dependency Injection and communicating with an API backend. This style of writing gives you a tutorial like experience, as opposed to just reading techniques the reader can see how it will work in the real world. The coding samples provided are complete enough for you to follow along on your development machine. Each chapter follows the progression of a full Xamarin.Forms app and as the book progresses each concept builds on itself. This book follows a developer as they build a travel app from start to finish. While the book was free, the opinions expressed here are mine alone and do not represent the opinions of the publisher or author. I was given a free copy of the book from the publisher in return for writing a review of the book.
