Show Me the XAML

Xamarin.Forms brings the eXtensible Application Markup Language, or XAML as it’s so lovingly known, to cross-platform mobile development. With XAML, application user interfaces can be created declaratively and succinctly.

To help Xamarin.Forms developers get up to speed, our good friend Charles Petzold took a brief pause from writing his book on Xamarin.Forms to bring you this wonderful guide:

XAML for Xamarin.Forms – Getting Started with Cross-Platform Markup for Mobile Devices.

In it, you’ll find everything you need to work effectively with XAML in Xamarin.Forms. The guide includes 5 action packed parts:

• Part 1. Getting Started with XAML
• Part 2. Essential XAML Syntax
• Part 3. XAML Markup Extensions
• Part 4. Data Binding Basics
• Part 5. From Data Binding to MVVM

Along with our other great education resources for learning Xamarin.Forms, you now have a wealth of information to help create great cross-platform apps.
