Are you a developer looking to take your skills to the next level and learn something new? Xamarin Alliance is here to help you. A set of challenges that will help you build your first Connected Mobile Application.
What is a Connected Mobile Application?
Typical applications are developed for a single platform with a single use case in mind. However, we want to help you to take your application and your development skills to the next level. Using Xamarin you can create for iOS, Android and Windows all within a single code base. Then connecting it to Azure, you can leverage cool features like push notifications, offline sync and user authentication.
The Challenges
Each challenge will address a specific scenario in creating a Connected Mobile Application. For example:
– Setting up Xamarin within your IDE
– Creating an application
– Connecting the application to Azure services
– Making the application engaging
Every 2 weeks we will release a new challenge for you to tackle!
