Wordament Spells Cross-Platform Success with Xamarin

 
Learn how Microsoft Studios was able to expand the reach of their wildly successful Windows app, Wordament, to iOS and Android platforms using Xamarin, C#, Visual Studio and shared code. They are now able to simultaneously ship new versions on all platforms and they are able to expand to additional game titles without increasing staff.

 

See the Xamarin Demo from the Modern Apps Roadshow
If you missed our 20 city Modern Apps Roadshow with Microsoft and the .NET Rocks! guys, you can still catch the Xamarin demo virtually. Join James Montemagno, Developer Evangelist at Xamarin, on Tuesday, February 18 as he demonstrates how to take advantage of Portable Class Libraries and Azure Mobile Services to build cross-platform cloud connected iOS, Android and Windows apps in Visual Studio.

 

Porting Existing .NET Apps to Four Mobile Platforms with PCL

 
One of the big wins for C# developers with the announcement of the collaboration between Microsoft and Xamarin is that Portable Class Library (PCL) projects are now fully supported on both iOS and Android, making it easier than ever for C# developers to share code across devices. What this also means is that your existing .NET apps can be easily ported to mobile by moving the code that is platform agnostic to a portable class library that can be referenced from iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows Store projects.
