PlanetXWhiteTransparentThe Xamarin development community is expanding and flourishing, with the Xamarin blog and Xamarin MVPs offering a plethora of knowledge for developers to soak up. As the community has continued to grow, so has the number of amazing developers blogging, recording, and podcasting about their libraries, apps, and experiences with Xamarin. In light of this, we’ve worked with community members to create a community blog aggregation platform that anyone can subscribe to via RSS. We call it Planet Xamarin and it’s launching today!

Follow Planet Xamarin

Head to our home page planetxamarin.com, where you can browse the current list of authors, preview the feed, and, of course, subscribe. In addition to a main RSS feed, Planet Xamarin also has active Twitter and Facebook pages that automatically post when any of the community bloggers do.

Thanks to Geoffrey Huntley, who maintains an active weekly Xamarin community newsletter, who worked with Readify to open source their RSS aggregation tool, which acts as the base of Planet Xamarin. You can find the source code and help contribute over on the project’s GitHub page.
