.NET Standard libraries bring our code to more platforms and give us even more APIs from the Base Class Libraries with which to build amazing apps. Developers have been able to use .NET Standard libraries with Xamarin to share code across platforms, and use Xamarin.Forms to create a shared user interface across iOS, Android, UWP, macOS, for a long time. When combined, .NET Standard and Xamarin.Forms are a match made in heaven for maximizing the amount of code we can share across platforms, both in our underlying business logic as well as our user interface layer.

In this blog post, you’ll learn how to combine .NET Standard libraries and Xamarin.Forms to maximize code sharing and productivity.

It’s been a long time coming, and today we are excited to announce some big changes coming to NuGet.org. With almost 3 million monthly page views, NuGet.org is the gateway for .NET developers to find packages that accelerate their projects. However, as a package management website, so much more can be done.

We decided to give NuGet.org a redesign and use it as a platform to build out new functionality. We’ve already begun to pull in a couple of new features, and have a bunch in the pipeline or planned for the future.

In this post, we’ll discuss 3 things:

  1. The motivations for the redesign and how your feedback guided our decisions
  2. An overview of what we’ve changed and added to the website
  3. A sneak peak of some other features that are currently being worked on

As a first time user learning any new technology or pattern, there’s always a curve, and over the years I’ve stood at the threshold of a product and gazed up that curve to determine how painfully steep it appeared and how long it would take until I was productive. Now, as the Program Manager for Xamarin.Forms, I gather and receive a lot of feedback from first time users, and stand in a position of being able to offer some help.

I’ve curated some great resources to get you over the curve, from our documentation guides to Xamarin University training materials, blog posts, and more. Whether you’re new to Xamarin.Forms or a seasoned user, I think you’ll find something useful below.

Hi i'm just wondering if this new .NET SDK/IDE will be available only on windows. I tried to download it, and apparently it is available only for Windows (AFAIK Now visual studio is available on linux as well) 

Since i'm a linux/mac user only and i'm interested in tizen development, it would be very useful to have available also on other platforms.

Microsoft Visual Studio (The Complete IDE) was always only for Windows platform, and they recently came up with Visual Studio for Mac. Yes, there is partial useful tools tike Visual Studio Code (code/text editor) for linux, but I haven't heard about the complete IDE on linux from Microsoft yet.

 

Tizen Studio IDE for Tizen Native & Web application development is available on all platforms: Linux, MAC and Windows. About Tizen.NET In the published roadmap, haven't seen any hint about linux/mac yet. My understanding is: as Tizen .NET IDE now being a 'Visual Studio Tool', It would remain on windows, and may be MAC in future. I expect there would be announcement regarding development environment in MAC, Linux soon. This is just the beginning of Tizen.NET (Preview stage), who knows what's waiting for us in front? All we can have is high hopes :)
