Mobile apps that don’t leverage local data storage for caching and offline access often present a less polished experience to the end user. In this course, Working with Local Data in Xamarin.Forms, you’ll learn how to use a variety of local data storage options to enhance your app’s performance and flexibility. First, you’ll explore the different storage options that are available, so you can make the best decision about which type of local storage to use. Next, you’ll discover how to create SQLite databases, the most robust option available. Then, you’ll learn how to create a model to map the database, with a code first/ORM style experience. Finally, you’ll get a better understanding on how to set up and access data in the SQLite database using the models you’ve created, enabling things like caching and offline access. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a foundational knowledge of local data storage in Xamarin.Forms that will help you as you move forward to high quality Xamarin.Forms app development.
