Mosh Hamedani – Xamarin Forms – Build Native Mobile Apps with C#

Do you have an idea for an app and want to turn that into reality?

Well, if you want to build that app for iOS, you need to know Objective-C, which is an old, C-based language. The alternative is to learn Swift. If you want to build the same app for Android, you need to learn Java. And if you want to build this app for Windows, of course you need to know C#.

Sounds like a big headache! It’s not just about learning different programming languages. It’s about the fact that each platform has its own UI framework which is built with a different architecture and API.

Building apps shouldn’t be that painful. Is there a better way? Yes there is: Xamarin Forms.

Xamarin Forms is a UI framework for building native cross-platform mobile apps with C#. You code your app only once, and let Xamarin compiler build your app for each platform. As simple as that! You don’t need to learn 4 different languages and presentation frameworks!

In this course, I’ll take you on a pragmatic and step-by-step journey to teach you how to build native mobile apps for Android, iOS and Windows using Xamarin Forms and C#.

In particular, you’ll learn how to:

Build user-interfaces with XAML and code
Work with images
Present data in beautiful, interactive lists
Implement multi-page apps with navigation, tabs, master/detail pages
Build form and setting pages
Store and retrieve data from file system, SQLite database and RESTful services
Implement Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architectural pattern

You get 7.5 hours of HD videos and every single minute is crafted with outstanding delivery and world-class production. Mosh doesn’t create 10+ hour courses that need to be fast-forwarded or skipped.

This course is packed with real-world examples, exercises and best practices. Not only will you learn how to use Xamarin Forms, you’ll also learn first-class tips to make your code cleaner and more maintainable.

WHAT OTHER STUDENTS WHO HAVE TAKEN THIS COURSE SAY

“Another fantastic course by Mosh! Really well presented and easy to follow along. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get up an running with Xamarin. I have apps up on my Android device and the whole experience has been super. Thanks Very Much!” -Aindriu Mac Giolla Eoin

“Mosh has that incredible teaching skill to from a fundamental level and then take you on a journey to iterate and improve on to a best practice mode thereby allowing you to grasp the core concept faster. Very much recommended for anyone who has always wanted to build native Android and iOS applications leveraging your existing C# skills. Keep up the good work Mosh!” -Sachin Chitran

“I read through the entire Xamarin Forms official book as well as some other books on the topic before taking this course. I wish I had taken this course from the beginning. The concepts are explained clearly, and the exercises at the end of each section really help to solidify what you have just learnt.” -Morné Zaayman

“You will not be disappointed by Mosh. At first I saw his content on youtube and I wanted to get a more in depth grip of his courses. I can assure you that the investment is truly worth it. You will neither feel like the instructor is talking to a stone who has never programmed, nor feel overwhelmed by a lot of complex programming techniques. The way he explains is just right for the average coder looking for improvements.” -Oproiu Stefan

“This was my first paid video course ever and wow…what a surprise! Now six months later, I already bought two other courses from Mosh Hamedani because it’s a great way to learn so much in such a short time. I became a real fan of Mosh because he gives a boost to my work career.

I recommend all the developers to watch the video courses of Mosh, you will not regret! He’s a very enthusiastic instructor who can teach you difficult concept as if they were easy. The video content includes many great exercises which will challenge yourself. Furthermore, the cheat sheets are very useful to refresh your memory.” -Yen Jacobs

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the course and finish?
The course s now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course – you decide when you and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like – across any and all devices you own.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
Do I need a Mac to take this course?
Not at all! You can use use Visual Studio on Windows to build and deploy apps to Windows and Android. You need a Mac only to build your app for iOS. And this involves simply adding a new project to your Visual Studio solution, setting it as the up project and building it. That’s it! You don’t need to write any extra code. So, no, you don’t need a Mac to take this course or learn Xamarin Forms in general.
Do I need to know about Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS libraries?
Again, no! Xamarin Forms provides a simple, unified API for you to build cross-platform mobile apps. When you build your app for Android or iOS, it will internally use Xamarin.Android or Xamarin.iOS to map the common user interface elements to their corresponding native equivalent. You need to know about Xamarin.Android or Xamarin.iOS only if you want to build custom user-interface elements.
