Some parts are good but some not that good. It gave me a good head start at least for developing xamarin.forms applications

This is a partial preview of a forthcoming book about using Xamarin forms for cross-platform mobile application development. By the time I got to the end of the book, I could read the code (both XAML and C#) and figure out what the apps were doing. I didn't actually experiment with the tutorials, so I was not confident that I could develop on this platform off the top of my head. I do, however, plan to go back through the tutorials to try and build up my capacity for this. I have several ideas for apps. Worth reading if you have any interest in mobile app development.
