Hey, let’s talk Xamarin. You know, that magical unicorn of a tool that can propel your app’s success into the stratosphere? (Okay, maybe no unicorns are involved, but we do promise it’s equally magical).
ENTER THE WORLD OF XAMARIN
Built by Microsoft, Xamarin is a robust cross-platform framework that allows developers to build mobile apps using C# and .NET. If you shivered a bit while reading “.NET”, don’t worry. We’ve got your back! And soon you’ll be harnessing the potential of this beast, just like Thor with his hammer (Hopefully, with less of the world-ending stuff).
Why Xamarin, You Ask?
Well, who doesn’t love some good ol’ cost efficiency? With Xamarin.Forms, you can share up to 100% of your code across platforms. That’s right! One code to rule them all. Now, it may not come in a cool, invisible ring, but it’s pretty darn close.
