Xamarin Forms: Build Native Cross-platform Apps with C# (Udemy.com)

This course is a great learning tool for anyone trying to get into Xamarin. Mosh goes into great detail with the tools that Xamarin offers and his practice exercises are great at making sure you understand the module well. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get into Xamarin but doesn't know where to start!

This is a good course but some examples made for IOS don't work so well for Android. Some topics like persistence data, file storage, didn't have a good explanation. I have no regrets about this course, but I did the EntityFramework course from Mosh and I liked more than this. Points to improve this course are, better Android examples, more exercises, examples about peripherals, Storage Data and customize screens.

This is a good course for persons that has knowledge in C# and that are beginners in Xamarin (Or has no knowledge in Xamarin). The unique problem is that it isn't updated, and you can have some issues in some lessons to make it works. At the final of the course, it isn't possible build an real life application. For this reason, a recommend the course only as an introdution in Xamarin Forms, and not as a completed course to build apps with Xamarin. Thanks for sharing your knowlege Mosh. It is possible to see that you have domain in the subjet.

This course must have been great when it just came out. Now some of the content is a bit obsolete - e.g. some of the methods used are deprecated now. This should be updated. Also one of the most interesting exercises - Netflix Roulette app is based on an API that is not available anymore. All in all I still think that the course is fine, but completing it requires a lot of additional googling, reading the comments and searching on your own, which is a bit frustrating.

Thanks to Mosh I learned a lot of practical, common , and easy to understand topics that were confusing before. I love his teaching style, providing practical and applicable exercises in each section which consolidated my learning. I hope he continues to build more courses like this. He is an excellent teacher. I think when you are such a good teacher , it becomes a duty to teach others you skill and knowledge. Thank you Mosh.

Mosh's courses are always high quality, and this course is not the exception, but it's a shame it didn't receive an update in years, for example, some of the exercises reference out of date or shutted down services (Like Netflix Roulette), It still has resources applicable to today Xamarin Forms apps, I rewatched in 2019 and is kind of useful but my rating is this since the Author got the course out-to-date.

Excellent pace and intuitive course. I am pretty convinced that this tutor is much learned and experienced. he knows the intricacies and mechanics of behind the scene. but for me, unfortunately, i did not get the most out of it. I think the author should consider the development of professional Apps from scratch and make it a separate course, one example per course.

I started this course, got a small way in then decided I needed to go off and learn C#. I came back a while later, having worked through Mosh's three C# courses. For anyone already familiar with C# and either Visual Studio or Xamarin Studio, this course is ideal. If you are wanting to learn this from a standing start like myself (rusty programmer with background in C and other C-derived languages, but not C# and no modern IDE background either) then it's good, but you need to get that background sorted first - Mosh is focused and moves quickly assuming that you are competent!

I have thoroughly enjoyed these lectures! I have also found the exercises to be challenging and fun! The course was very well done over-all! Thank you Mosh. Half way point (moving along through the lectures) - The lecture videos are excellent! The instructor, Mosh, is highly thorough in explaining what is needed, how standard implementation is performed, and why specific implementation coding styles are chosen. I LOVE that Mosh takes the time to show architectural diagrams, common design patterns, and "got-chas" to be careful of! Thank you for doing that Mosh!!! The exercises at the end of each section are also excellent! They are challenging, but not overly so! The exercises help you cement what you've just been taught and are spot-on target! I love that I can make my own attempt at completing the exercise, and if I get really stuck, I can download an example of working source code that shows the correct way of solving the problem. I also love, that I can go back at any time during the course and re-watch small portions of the presentation, or an entire section (if needed), to get a more complete understanding of the concepts or a solid review to help cement what I've learned. I can tell that a lot of forethought and careful planning has gone into putting this course together, and I'm very thankful for all of that hard work. Thank you Mosh! My introduction to the course - The video does well at explaining how to setup the environment, but Visual Studio 2015 has been updated since this recording was made. I would encourage the author to revisit the video to make sure when creating a new Xamarin project that the selection of the New Project type matches what Visual Studio 2015 currently offers. Specifically, when creating a new Xamarin Project, the student is now faced with choosing between more than just 2 options (i.e. Protable Class Library, and Shared Class Library). The student now has to decide: 1.Xamarin Forms Protable; 2. Xamarin Forms Shared; 3. Blank Xaml App (Xamarin.Forms.Portable); 4. Blank Xaml App (Xamarin.Forms.Shared); 5. Xamarin Forms (Android/iOS); 6. Class Library (Xamarin.Forms); and there are more options, but you get the idea.

Well, Mosh. Good job programming this manipulative hover effect with JavaScript. You deserve a five-star rating ;). But, lately, I was thinking that OOP doesn't go in the right direction, I will figure more out when I will watch your amazing and very challenging C# courses. About this course on Xamarin, I can say, that I was tempted to learn app programming for Android and iOS all at once, but then my assumptions about efficient IT came across. I have to admit, I've never started to code a mobile app seriously, just a handful of websites for production mode. But if I would outline, design and code a mobile app I'd rather use a native solution for both iOS and Android. But I would never use HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery Mobile like the guys from Framework.tv do. Anyway, you are a very good teacher Mosh, and I am sorry for offending you in a review because object-oriented programming was too difficult for me and I needed somebody to blame for my failure. I hope I will understand loose coupling once in depth to say if you are on the right track. Thanks a lot, Anna
