7. Better TCO, productivity and development experience
6/12/2018
The mobile app dilemma
Native
End user experience
One option is the silo’ed approach – today, it is very common to see a company or developer create the same app multiple times in different languages with different tools for different platforms
While this might give you a fully native user experience and maximum performance, it is also expensive, can require multiple teams and generally takes more time
But the biggest issue of this approach is the future maintenance overhead of managing and maintaining apps and code for multiple different platforms
Hybrid
Better TCO, productivity and development experience

8. Cross-platform native with Xamarin
6/12/2018
Cross-platform native with Xamarin
“The best of both worlds”
Developer
100% C# with 100% of platform APIs exposed
More productivity and faster development
Up to 95% code reuse across platforms
Up to 100% shared UI with Xamarin.Forms
One code base & IDE for client and backend
End User
Platform-native UX
Full performance
Native platform service integration C#
End user experience
Mobile is transformative because mobile apps are context-aware – and context-aware apps require full access to native device capabilities
Mobile users - consumers and employees alike - are more likely to abandon apps that show poor performance or non-standard UI, navigation and controls because it slows them down and forces them to re-learn things they already know
Xamarin takes .NET to the next level and extends it to iOS and Android
Xamarin apps are 100% C# and 100% of Android + iOS platform APIs are exposed
With Xamarin, everything you can do with Objective-C or Java, you can do with .NET
Xamarin apps are 100% native apps, indistinguishable from platform-native apps created with Android Studio, Eclipse or Xcode
Xamarin also includes powerful iOS and Android UI designers that enable you to create beautiful user experiences for Windows, iOS and Android in a visual designer with drag-and-drop simplicity
Xamarin enables developers to use the same languages, libraries, and tools for all major mobile platforms, unlocking the extraordinary productivity of .NET for any iOS and Android while using existing skills and enabling effortless sharing of code among platforms
With Xamarin, you can build native apps once and run them everywhere – giving developers the most productive and powerful platform for creating native cross-platform applications
The cross-platform native approach combines the benefits of both worlds - you get the native user experience for each individual platform, and you also eliminate rework and increase organizational innovation and responsiveness by delivering more apps faster
Better TCO, productivity and development experience
