Xamarin.Forms is the preferred way for Microsoft developers to build applications that run on Android, iOS, and Windows. To use Xamarin.Forms for real applications that meet today’s requirements for flexibility and testability, you need to structure code according to industry-standard architecture guidelines. In this course, Building an Enterprise Mobile Application with Xamarin.Forms, you will learn how a real-life application is built with Xamarin.Forms. First, you will see a proposed architecture that promotes code-reuse as well as testability and maintainability. Next, you will learn how MVVM can be used in Xamarin.Forms. Then, you will create loose-coupling through messaging patterns and dependency injection, which are integrated in the proposed architecture. By the end of this course, you will have a good understanding of a real-life application architecture for Xamarin.Forms applications.
