Xamarin Tools: Mobile and Web Services
with Wallace McClure
Course Description: In this course, we will look at the Xamarin Mobile API. Mobile devices tend to have features that are functionally the same except for the APIs. For example, there is a geolocation api. The geolocation api is functionally the same across iOS and Android, yet the APIs are very different. Then we’ll look at various other services that can be commonly used in the mobile world with iPhone and Android. We can use the same API to call out to web services to get data. When that data comes back, we can use the same API in JSON and XML to process returned data in the iPhone and Android.
