Thank you so much...what is the stable version of Xamarin to download free?

Answer 2

I am developing an Android application using Xamarin, but I don't know native development. So apart from comparison between these.

Xamarin is very easy to develop an application and also lots of materials available to help. But still there are too many issues are there? Recent builds are falling so we are rolling back to previous stable version. Also Xamarin was not stable as like others, due to limitations or bugs we have to do a lot of work around to resolve these.

On the while you can try Xamarin for your application. Just search Xamarin developer guide in Google and you will be presented the Xamarin developer documents.

Hope it will be helpful to you. Maybe you can post your doubts here. I will address those.

Xamarin is a company that builds tools for developers, and has two particular products that I'm going to call out specifically; Xamarin Platform, and Xamarin Test Cloud, both of which will no doubt have been appealing to Microsoft in the acquisition.

The Xamarin platform is what most of us are excited to see joining Microsoft, and there are a couple of important sub-products which you'll hear more about in the future I'm sure: the shared C# project, and Xamarin forms.

For C# developers, the platform allows us to write all of our logic in that one language, allowing for much of it to be shared across solutions. We then write the specific front-end markup and/or code for each native screen (i.e. XAML for Windows). Of course there will always be a few specifics for each platform – you won't be pinning a live tile on Android for instance – but the majority of the code should be shareable.

Xamarin forms is an attempt to take away those platform specifics, by giving a universal UI language that will map to the relevant platform's controls depending on where it is running. In my experience, it has limitations and usually results in some fairly basic UIs being created. However, I'm given to understand that the newer versions have made great strides.

You may wonder what the benefit is to Xamarin compared to other cross-platform tools, of which there are several. Many of Xamarin's rivals use web technologies to deliver their solutions, which usually incur significant performance costs compared to coding in the platform's native language. Xamarin's code is compiled into native code for each platform using their tools rather than being interpreted – in simple terms it's substantially faster, matching or sometimes beating the usual languages.

Nothing is stable in Xamarin :)

You can try the latest Xamarin version in latest Xamarin studio or VS2015
