In this Tutorial we will create multiplatform applications using C#, Xamarin.Forms and Visual Studio. No previous experience is required, the level will be very basic, but basic knowledge of C# and Visual Studio is required.
We are starting with a very basic application, the TicTacToe game.
This is the video of how it will look, of course, there will be other iterations to improve this version.
This is the git repository where we will have all the code, that will be improving with the different iterations.
I will divide the tutorial in chapters to explain the different parts.
The goal of this version is creating something focused in learning and understanding, later on we will think about how to improve it, make it more efficient and add more options.
As this is the first version, it has only 2 files to work with. They will be explained in the chapter 1 and 2 respectively. I will also provide the code in a git repository in case someone wants to download it and play a bit with it.
We will see the first file in the next chapter "The User Interface".
In the meantime, I recommend installing Visual Studio and create the first mobile app project and play a bit with the default project.
In case you don't know which kind of project create, this is the options I have chosen:
Once created, the project will look like this:
We can see how our project is divided in a project for Android, a project for iOS and a common part that will be used for both platforms.
When executing, the default project will look like this:
In the next chapter we will have a look at the default classes and the creation of the new user interface for the game.
See you then!!!
