Xamarin Resources
- Xamarin GitHub – lots of amazing things here including iOS, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.Forms.
- Xamarin Open Source – get more details on what is open source from Xamarin now that Xamarin has joined Microsoft
- Xamarin Evolve 2016 – all sessions are available online, if you want to learn this is a great place to do it
- Creating Mobile Apps With Xamarin Forms – This is the book I gave away as a prize at Xamarin Evolve 2016, but for those of you who didn’t attend, you can get the entire PDF for free!
- Requirements for getting started with Xamarin – these are the full requirements to get started.
- Xamarin University – there is a free self guided course available. Definitely worthwhile if you want to learn all about Xamarin iOS & Android & Forms. (P.S. If you complete this contact us – we are hiring!)
- Xamarin Cross Platform Guides & Tutorials
- iOS Guides and Tutorials
- Android Guides and Tutorials
- DotNet Foundation – a lot of things you can find here on projects that the foundation is working on. Xamarin products are now part of the .NET Foundation and pretty sure all licenses are MIT Licenses. Personally I’ve looked at Roslyn, Xamarin, ASP.NET in my spare time, more for curiosity than for customer projects.

- Microsoft Virtual Academy – and even some more free training including Xamarin getting started
- Visual Studio Community Edition – Xamarin is included in the Community Edition download.
- Cross Platform Development with Xamarin & Visual Studio – This is an MVA I did with Microsoft in 2014. It’s old now, but you may find some useful nuggets of information. It goes through Oakville Heritage Properties Open Data set. Be warned, it’s long (and I’m not used to talking to a camera…)
