Microsoft's Xamarin drastically reduces dev time by reusing most application codetypically 70% or more. The core of your iOS and Android app is shared; you write platform-specific code only for the UI layer. And because Xamarin uses C#, your apps benefit from everything this modern language and the .NET ecosystem have to offer.About the BookXamarin in Action teaches you to build cross-platform mobile apps using Xamarin and C#.
