Code your first Xamarin.iOS app: create a project, define the UI, and implement behavior.

Use the Xamarin.iOS Storyboard Designer to design a responsive, multi-screen application.

Reduce the amount of code you must write by sharing your business logic across platforms.

Display a data collection using the iOS UITableView.

Create a unique look for your Table View rows by implementing a custom UITableViewCell.

Users expect to access their information any time from any location using any device. This leads most app developers to store data in the cloud and retrieve it as needed from client devices. REST-based web services are the dominant strategy for this type of device-to-server communication. In this course, you will see how to consume REST-based web services with HttpClient using both the managed networking stack and the platform-specific handlers that boost performance. You will also learn some common strategies for dealing with the unique challenges that mobile devices face when communicating over the network.

Many apps need to store data locally on the device so it is available even when network access is unreliable. User preferences, data files, and relational data can all fall into this category. This course starts with a survey of the local-storage options available to you in your Xamarin applications. It then concentrates on storing relational data using a SQLite database. By the end of the course, you will have seen how to identify the proper location for your database file and how to insert, update, retrieve, and delete data efficiently using asynchronous I/O calls.

Implement the stack, tab, master-detail, and pager UI navigation patterns.

Use the Finite-length Task API to save application state as your app enters the background.

Use CoreLocation to determine the device’s location and MapKit to add mapping capabilities to your Xamarin.iOS app.

Use UIView touch events to build a multi-touch drawing application and gesture detectors to manipulate an image.

Use Constraints and Size Classes to build a responsive UI that adapts to different screen sizes and orientations.

Learn common architectural principals and styles to properly structure your mobile app.
