At Microsoft Connect(); last November, we announced the general availability of Visual Studio App Center to help (Obj-C, Swift, Java, React Native, and Xamarin) developers quickly build, test, deploy, monitor, and improve their phone, tablet, desktop, and connected device apps with powerful, automated lifecycle services. As a .NET developer, you may already use the power of Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin to develop amazing apps in C#.

Now, with Visual Studio App Center, you can easily tap into automated cloud services for every stage of your development process, so you get higher quality apps into your users’ hands even faster.

To learn how to simplify and automate your app development pipeline, join Mark Smith for “Xamarin University Presents: Ship Better Apps with Visual Studio App Center” on Thursday, January 25^th at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET / 5 pm UTC. Mark will demo the services available in App Center – from setting up continuous cloud builds to automated testing and deployment to post-release crash reporting and aggregate user and app analytics. You’ll leave ready to connect your first app and start improving your development process and your apps immediately.

Jam-packed with step-by-step demos, this session has something for everyone, from app development beginners to seasoned pros who’ve built dozens of apps.
