Requirements
- As discussed earlier, Xamarin is a platform to create multi-OS apps. It allows one to create a single application that can work across Android, iOS, and Windows phones. There is also a system required to have a machine that can support a smooth function of Visual Studio Application to install Xamarin for the hands-on practice. One should be good at C# language. It is an easy language and one will not take long to go about the concepts of the language. Mobile App Development: It can be working knowledge of iOS or Android, either of that. One needs to have prior knowledge of how the platform works, the use of controllers, files on the device, usage of features of the smartphone, etc and other related basics. Architecture: One needs to understand the code and solution right off the architecture. Therefore, a good understanding of the POO and patterns such as MVC and MVVM is much appreciated. Even if one is not that well equipped in the above-mentioned prerequisites, this Xamarin Training will prove out to be an excellent choice. The course instructors have devised the course in such a way that people with no experience with the above can take up this course and also brush up on the basics.
