Hire Xamarin Developers

Xamarin.Forms and Xamarin Native are both part of the Xamarin framework and are used for cross-platform mobile app development. However, they are used for different purposes. Xamarin.Forms is a UI toolkit that allows developers to create UIs that can be shared across iOS, Android, and Windows with a single codebase. Xamarin Native allows developers to write platform-specific code with C#.

C# includes a wide range of features that facilitate easier and more effective Xamarin app development. They improve code efficiency, enhance the developer experience, and help create robust and maintainable applications. These features include 

• Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is used for data manipulation, particularly when you're working with collections or local databases, such as SQLite.
• Asynchronous programming is essential for UI responsiveness in mobile applications.
• Lambda expressions and delegates help create concise and readable code. They are particularly useful in event handling and LINQ queries, allowing developers to write less wordy code for callbacks and event listeners.
• Extension methods allow developers to add additional methods to existing types without altering their source code. They're especially useful when you're working with custom controls or specific data types.
• Partial classes and methods enable splitting the implementation of a class or method across multiple source files. This is helpful for separating the shared code from platform-specific code in large projects.
• Generics improve code reusability and type safety, which is important for building reusable components and services in data models, view models, and service layers.
• Nullable types offer a straightforward way to handle null references, which improves the reliability of the app.
• Attributes can be leveraged to add metadata to code, accessed at runtime using reflection.
• Properties and auto-properties provide a flexible way to expose private fields with getters and setters, simplifying property declaration and making code cleaner.

I utilize Xamarin.Forms for UI design to ensure a consistent user experience across different platforms in Xamarin. I also implement a consistent design language and UI language and employ data binding and the MVVM pattern to maintain a clean separation of business logic from UI. Finally, I use Xamarin.Essentials to leverage common device functionalities in a consistent way across multiple platforms.

The MVVM pattern is a design approach that enhances the separation of concerns in app development. In Xamarin, it's especially useful for building maintainable, testable, and scalable apps, dividing the applications into the Model, View, and ViewModel.
