A little over one year ago we started our Channel 9 Invasion and, in the short time since then, videos featuring Xamarins have reached over half a million views! We started with features on popular Channel 9 shows Visual Studio Toolbox and DevRadio and then advanced to major conferences such as Build, TechEd Europe, and dotNetConf.

We’re kicking off 2015 with a bang with brand new episodes for your enjoyment. I had the honor of joining Robert Green again, expanding our four part series into an eight part series on Visual Studio Toolbox. Part 5 focuses on how you can leverage your C# and XAML skills to build cross-platform native mobile apps with Xamarin.Forms.

Part 6 goes in a different direction and focuses on how to use the Xamarin Designer for iOS inside of Visual Studio to craft beautiful iOS user interfaces.

If you missed any of last year’s episodes of Visual Studio Toolbox, you can catch up at the links below:

• Part 1: Cross-Platform Mobile Development with Xamarin
• Part 2: Using Portable Class Libraries
• Part 3: Xamarin and Azure Mobile Services
• Part 4: Leveraging existing .NET code with Xamarin

Be sure to follow Channel 9, Robert Green, and of course Xamarin on Twitter for even more great episodes coming soon.
