Chapter 1. Getting Started with Xamarin

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Engin and Matteo and we are your chief flight attendants. On behalf of Xamarin Developers Crew, welcome aboard! This is a non-stop service from C# to multiplatform mobile development. Our flight time will be as long as you prefer. We will be exploring exciting examples, trying to cover all the basic and some advanced topics of mobile development. Now make sure your seat and desktop are in the most comfortable position. At this time, we request that all electronic devices be switched in to developer mode. You will find this and all the other useful information in the book located in front of you. We strongly suggest that you read it before take-off. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to e-mail us. We wish you all an enjoyable flight.
