Here are just a few topics that we will cover:

Xamarin.Forms 2.0
Xamarin developers have taken advantage of a shared business logic backend for years, but with the introduction of Xamarin.Forms it accelerate their cross-platform development introducing a shared user interface library and full MVVM Framework. Xamarin.Forms 2.0 takes advantage of the latest iOS 9 and Android Marshmallow features including material design, introduces several new gestures such as pull-to-refresh, rotate, pinch, and panning, as well as significant performance enhancements.

Xamarin Test Cloud & the Test Recorder
Xamarin developers are able to take advantage of their free Test Cloud time to test their applications on over 2,000 iOS and Android devices. We will take a look at the Test Cloud and see how the brand new Test Recorder simplifies the creation of complex tests to get you testing faster.
