Overview of this book

The main goal of this book is to equip you with the required know-how to successfully analyze, develop, and manage Xamarin cross-platform projects using the most efficient, robust, and scalable implementation patterns. This book starts with general topics such as memory management, asynchronous programming, local storage, and networking, and later moves onto platform-specific features. During this transition, you will learn about key tools to leverage the patterns described, as well as advanced implementation strategies and features. The book also presents User Interface design and implementation concepts on Android and iOS platforms from a Xamarin and cross-platform perspective, with the goal to create a consistent but native UI experience. Finally, we show you the toolset for application lifecycle management to help you prepare the development pipeline to manage and see cross-platform projects through to public or private release.

Summary

Overall, tools available for the .NET platform can be easily utilized to manage and streamline the development pipeline tasks. On top of the Microsoft-based offerings, there are a number of service providers with the freemium subscription model. This can create great opportunities for individual/independent developers.

For source control, the most logical choices are Git and TFVC. While TFVC is an ideal solution for developers with a Windows-based development environment setup, Git provide native integration to Xamarin Studio on both Windows and Mac OS environments.

Independent from the repository choice, Visual Studio Team Services or other CI platforms such as TeamCity can be employed to create automated testing and build workflows.

Finally, beta testing and collected telemetry are fundamental elements for Xamarin projects. With real use-cases and analytical data on usage patterns, developers can fine-tune their applications and avoid problems before the actual release.
