Course Description

With over 13,000 happy students and 2,600+ positive reviews, this course is Udemy's most popular course for learning Xamarin Forms!

Do you have an idea for an app and want to turn that into reality?
Well, if you want to build that app for iOS, you need to know Objective-C, which is an old, C-based language. The alternative is to learn Swift. If you want to build the same app for Android, you need to learn Java. And if you want to build this app for Windows, of course you need to know C#.

Sounds like a lot of headache. It's not just about learning different programming languages. It's about the fact that each platform has its own UIframework which is built with a different architecture and API.

Building apps shouldn't be that painful. Is there a better way?
Yes there is:
Xamarin Forms.

Xamarin Forms is a UIframework for building native cross-platform mobile apps with C#. You code your app only once, and let Xamarin compilerbuild your appfor each platform. As simple as that! You don't need to learn 4 different languages andpresentation frameworks!

In this course, Mosh, author of 9 five-star courses on Udemy, willtake you on apragmatic and step-by-step journeyand teach you how tobuild native mobile apps for Android, iOS and Windowsusing Xamarin Forms and C#.

FREQUENTLYASKEDQUESTIONS

1-Do I need a Mac to take the course?

Not at all! You can use use Visual Studio on Windows to build and deploy apps to Windows and Android. You need a Mac only to build your app for iOS. And this involves simply adding a new project to your Visual Studio solution, setting it as the start up project and building it. Thats it! You dont need to write any extra code.

So, no, you dont need a Mac to take this course or learn Xamarin Forms in general.

2-Do I need to know about Xamarin.
Android and Xamarin.
iOS libraries?

Again, no! Xamarin Forms provides a simple, unified API for you to build cross-platform mobile apps. When you build your app for Android or iOS, it will internally use Xamarin.
Android or Xamarin.
iOS to map the common user interface elements to their corresponding native equivalent.

You need to know about Xamarin.
Android or Xamarin.
iOS only if you want to build custom user-interface elements.

Very much recommended for anyone who has always wanted to build native Android and iOS applications leveraging your existing C# skills. Keep up the good work Mosh!" -Sachin Chitran"I read through the entire Xamarin Forms official book as well as some other books on the topic before taking this course. I wish I had taken this course from the beginning. The concepts are explained clearly, and the exercises at the end of each section really help to solidify what you have just learnt." -Morn Zaayman"You will not be disappointed by Mosh. At first I saw his content on youtube and I wanted to get a more in depth grip of his courses. I can assure you that the investment is truly worth it. You will neither feel like the instructor is talking to a stone who has never programmed, nor feel overwhelmed by a lot of complex programming techniques. The way he explains is just right for the average coder looking for improvements." -Oproiu Stefan"This was my first paid video course ever and wowwhat a surprise! Now six months later, I already bought two other courses from Mosh Hamedani because its a great way to learn so much in such a short time. I became a real fan of Mosh because he gives a boost to my work career.

I recommend all the developers to watch the video courses of Mosh, you will not regret! Hes a very enthusiastic instructor who can teach you difficult concept as if they were easy.

The whole course is using an old version of Visual Studio. Witch makes is verry difficult to follow. So, completely outdated! You will find better for free on YouTube.

It is pretty out of date. The experience using VS 2019 is quite different.

By Geeta Sharma on 11/1/2020

I am liking the course very much. But in some sections old/obsolete terms/functions are used. The course should be updated or atleast add appropriate notes

By John Oymak on 10/26/2020

The Instructor is great, however there are a few depreciated and obsolete methods that have not been updated. Will change rating to 5 stars once there is an update.

By Noah Dinnar on 10/24/2020

Overall a great course! It covers the most important Xamarin Forms topics, and even addresses some of the trickier ones. I would have liked to see a little more on the basic form controls earlier on, for some reason they are toward the end of the course. This tutorial did a great job of getting me up and running with Xamarin Forms. I would like to see another course from Mosh concerning advanced Xamarin topics.
