Join hundreds of fellow mobile developers for Xamarin’s first worldwide developer conference.
Keynote
In this session you will learn how to easily add a scalable Windows Azure backend to your Xamarin-based applications. We’ll start from a cross platform, but local-only application and bring it to life with shared data, authentication and push notifications, all using Windows Azure Mobile Services.
Touch gestures are sweeping away buttons, menus and windows from mobile devices—and even from the next version of Windows. Find out why those familiar desktop widgets are weak replacements for manipulating content directly, and learn to craft touchscreen interfaces that effortlessly teach users new gesture vocabularies. The challenge: gestures are invisible, without the visual cues offered by buttons and menus. As your touchscreen app sheds buttons, how do people figure out how to use the thing? Learn to lead your audience by the hand (and fingers) with practical techniques that make invisible gestures obvious. Designer Josh Clark (author of "Tapworthy") mines a variety of surprising sources for interface inspiration and design patterns. Along the way, discover the subtle power of animation, why you should be playing lots more video games, and why a toddler is your best beta tester.
The session will cover async usage within your application or library from basics to recommended best practices for advanced users to get best of C# 5 async.
In this fast-paced session we’ll be walking through the new IDE features in Visual Studio 2012 designed to help you be more productive inside the IDE. Come see how we’ve improved the developer experience by streamlining the common tasks, simplifying the environment, and allowing developers to focus on the code that matters.
Closing session with exciting announcements and give-aways
