24. Two Challenges for Building Apps
#1 – Heterogeneous World #2 – Users Want Native

25. Common approaches to mobile development
The Platform specific approach
• Multiple teams to be managed
• Expensive to maintain multiple code
bases
• Slows down innovation
The Hybrid Approach
• Non-standard UI
• Limited API access
• Non-native performance
Hybrid Platform
C#
Visual Studio
Java
Eclipse
Objective-C
Xcode

26. Xamarin’s unique approach: efficiency through shared code
More apps faster: Accelerated time-to-market
with up to 99% shared code
Only native cross-platform solution: Native UI
and performance, high-fidelity API access
Easy scalability: Go from 1–100 apps with reduced
time and effort
Native UI

27. The only native cross-platform solution

28. The Cross-Platform Native Approach with Xamarin
iOS C# UI Windows C# UIAndroid C# UI
Shared C# Back End
- Business Logic
- Data Layer
- Networking
- Reusable components
Shared C# codebase • 100% native API access • VS or XS IDE

29. Traditional Xamarin Approach Xamarin.Forms:
More code-sharing, all native

Xamarin Code Sharing Architectural Approaches
Better for: POCs and forms based
apps. UI/UX is lower priority
Better For: Apps where UX/UI is high
priority.

30. Anything you can do in Objective-C, Swift, or Java
can be done in C# and Visual Studio with Xamarin.

31. Always Up-to-Date
Same-day support:
• iOS 5
• iOS 6
• iOS 7
• iOS 7.1
• iOS 8
• iOS 9
Full support for:
• Apple Watch
• Google Glass
• Android Wear
• Amazon Fire TV
• and much more
Solid Track Record

32. Truly Native Performance
Xamarin.Android takes advantage of
Just In Time (JIT) compilation on the
Android device.
“Xamarin performance is so great that I have to imagine there is some magic involved.”
~Harry Cheung, Hacker and Xoogler

“Xamarin is critical to
our mobile success,
helping us make sure
that any user on any
device has a good
quality experience

companies should be
asking is how can we
afford to not be
automating our
tests?”
“With Xamarin, you
don't have to think
about that stuff
anymore, you just
think about the
experience you want
to deliver to your
users."
