NDC-London - Workshop: Writing Cross Platform iOS and Android Apps using Xamarin.Forms

In the upcoming NDC London 2016, I will be doing a pre-conference workshop on developing cross-platform iOS and Android apps using Xamarin.Forms.

For more information on NDC London 2016, click this link.

Synopsis of the Workshop
In this 2-day workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of building cross-platform mobile apps targeting iOS and Android devices using Xamarin.Forms. Using the Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio, you can now write iOS and Android apps using your familiar C# language. When you are ready to deploy your apps, the Xamarin compiler will compile your app into the native binary for each platform. The end result is you have a first class application that is optimized for the respective platform that it is compiled for.
