Xamarin Start Guide
At the very beginning of a professional career, a lot of people are wondering how to start their way in order to find a job and stay marketable.
In that article, I will try to help you with those questions by sharing the most necessary tools to start.
Firstly, I strongly recommend having a look at a small article which will give you an initial understanding of What Xamarin is? What is used for? What makes Xamarin better than the other cross-platform solutions?
Let's start investigating!
Since the main language of the .NET platform is C#, we will start from it. C# is the base, foundation without which any sustainable development of the .NET engineer is impossible. Each developer must know and easy to be guided in his main language for 100%. Thus I suggest starting from the detailed investigation of the chosen language. Here are two online tutorials, which might be a perfect match for freshers https://metanit.com/sharp/tutorial/ and https://www.tutorialspoint.com/csharp/index.htm
In case any questions while education comes up, feel always free to call for Microsoft documentation.
I would also like to recommend an online compiler. It has some examples of code basing on which you will be able to check yourself and have some practice.
Let's say we have already learned C# and now have deep knowledge of it. As the next step, you might consider studying the Xamarin framework. At that stage, I am happy to share with you two links:
metanit.com/sharp/xamarin/ and Microsoft documentation
If you better take the information visually, I highly recommend two YouTube channels which will help you to deal with some challenges that you might have in future:
To control your test projects, you'd better get acquainted with the term 'version control systems'.
Version control systems are a category of software tools that help a software team manage changes to source code over time. It keeps track of every modification to the code in a special kind of database. In case a mistake comes up, developers can turn back the clock and compare earlier versions of the code to fix the mistake. The most popular Git client is www.sourcetreeapp.com. Feel free to review a short video, which shows you the main operations.
To sum things up, after deep investigating of all the materials, you will have enough background for your first professional interview. It would be also nice if you try your skills while creating a test project. I strongly believe that you might already have an idea for that. So why not to try? Who knows, maybe your idea will change the world as Facebook did.
If you want it, just take it.
BR,
Pavel Chuvak
