Join me on Thursday, September 21 at 9 am PT \/ 12 pm ET \/ 4 pm UTC for my \u201cExploring UrhoSharp 3D with Xamarin Workbooks\u201d webinar<\/b>, where I\u2019ll combine my love of graphics programming with my passion for helping developers build better apps. Whether you\u2019re just getting started or an experienced developer, you\u2019ll learn how to use your .NET and C# skills to create native mobile apps, complete with 3D graphics.<\/p>\n

\"Xamarin<\/a><\/p>\n

Lately, I’ve been exploring UrhoSharp, Xamarin’s C# and .NET wrapper of Urho3D. Urho3D is a sophisticated, powerful open-source 3D game engine written in C++ — and it allows developers to build 3D visualization and augmented reality applications. You can easily integrate UrhoSharp code into your Windows .NET and Xamarin apps, including Android, iOS, Mac, and more.<\/p>\n

Part of the reason I\u2019m excited about UrhoSharp: I love how graphics programming allows you to visualize something in your mind, then see it on the computer screen. About 10 years ago, I was heavy into 3D programming in the Windows Presentation Foundation, and I imagined a little two-lane highway in the form of a M\u00f6bius strip, with cars driving on the top, bottom, and sides. It looked great in theory, but I never found the time to code it.<\/p>\n

As I became more familiar with UrhoSharp, the M\u00f6bius mental image came back, and I was determined to make it real.<\/p>\n

I knew the math would be tricky, so I needed an immediate and interactive programming environment \u2013 and, with UrhoSharp and Xamarin Workbooks, my vision and my code came together. Xamarin Workbooks \u2013 an interactive blend of code and documentation that integrates C# code blocks into step-by-step guides \u2013 simplify learning mobile development, but it\u2019s also great for coding and testing out new ideas. As you add C# code blocks, you\u2019ll immediately see it executed on the screen, helping you learn as you go and make rapid changes to your apps\u2019 appearance.<\/p>\n

\"Urho<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll dig into the code for this project, share my advice for getting started, and I \u2013 plus other Xamarin University instructors and mobile experts \u2013 will be on hand to answer your questions.<\/p>\n

Register now<\/a> and join me on Thursday, September 21, at 9 am PT \/ 12 pm ET \/ 4 pm UTC <\/b>for a M\u00f6biusly graphical 3D experience.<\/p>\n

We encourage all registrants to attend the webinar live, as we will be answering questions throughout the event. However, we will share recordings with registrants after the session, so sign up even if you\u2019re unable to join us at the scheduled time. You can view an assortment of past sessions<\/i> <\/i>here<\/u><\/a>. <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
