Xamarin Forms Training

If you haven't tried Xamarin yet, this is the moment to get started! Xamarin is a cross-platform framework that makes it possible to build mobile apps for Android, iOS, and Windows all together at once using C# and a shared codebase.

• Introduction to Cross-Platform Mobile Development

Five days

Outline of Xamarin Forms Training 1. Introduction to Cross-Platform Mobile Development

• Reduce the amount of code you must write by sharing your business logic across platforms.

2. Layout in Xamarin.Forms

• Specify the size and position of the controls in your Xamarin.Forms UI using the two most common layout containers: StackLayout and Grid.

3. Resources and Styles in Xamarin.Forms

• Use resources and styles in Xamarin.Forms to manage shared values and provide a consistent UI look and feel.

4. SQLite and Mobile Data

• Use SQLite to efficiently store and retrieve on-device data.

5. Navigation Patterns in Xamarin.Forms

• Implement multi-page Xamarin.Forms apps using stack and tab navigation.

6. Preparing for Publishing

7. Patterns for Cross Platform Mobile Development

• Use the Factory pattern, the Service Locator pattern, and Dependency Injection to access platform-specific APIs from shared code in a loosely-coupled manner.

8. Master-detail and Drawer Navigation

• In this course, you'll learn how to switch between pages of content using drawer navigation, and create a master-detail UI to browse data collections

9. Mobile Application Architecture

• Learn common architectural principals and styles to properly structure your mobile app.

10. Customizing the ListView in Xamarin.Forms

• Customize the Xamarin.Forms ListView control using custom cells, headers/footers, grouping, and cell caching.

11. Design an MVVM ViewModel in Xamarin.Forms

• Apply the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) design pattern to your Xamarin.Forms apps to improve code reuse and testability.

12. Xamarin.Forms Effects

• Use Effects to customize the appearance of the native controls that underlie Xamarin.Forms elements.

13. Xamarin.Forms Renderers

• Use Renderers to customize the behavior of existing Xamarin.Forms controls and create your own custom controls.

14. Diagnosing Memory Management Issues

• Locate and fix memory problems in your Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android applications.
