As the role of mobile devices in people’s lives expands even further, mobile app developers have become a driving force for software innovation.
In a recent post I mentioned Xamarin, a leading platform provider for mobile app development. Microsoft on its official blog recently announced that is signed an agreement to acquire Xamarin.
In conjunction with Visual Studio, Xamarin provides a rich mobile development offering that enables developers to build mobile apps using C# and deliver fully native mobile app experiences to all major devices – including iOS, Android, and Windows.
Xamarin’s approach enables developers to take advantage of the productivity and power of .NET to build mobile apps, and to use C# to write to the full set of native APIs and mobile capabilities provided by each device platform. This enables developers to easily share common app code across their iOS, Android and Windows apps while still delivering fully native experiences for each of the platforms.
