Thanks for showing interest in my topic at Music City Code 2016! Below are links for my talk.

Native mobile apps beyond Hello World

Xamarin lets you build native Android, iOS, and Windows apps on a shared C# codebase. You already know how to get started, but now you want to make the most of Xamarin app development. What is the best way to share code? Can you access device-specific APIs from shared code? In this session, we'll dig deeper than "Hello World". First, I'll discuss popular code sharing strategies. Then we'll write shared code that accesses device-specific APIs like Connectivity and Notifications. Come with your "how do I Xamarin?" questions, and we'll cover as many as we can.
