Sharing cross-platformcode with Xamarin

Share projects and partial classesSeparate cross-platform code from platform-specific codeStandard project layoutStandard way to add a platformPortable class librariesTarget multiple frameworks from a binaryIncludes Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android

Talking PointsShared Projects and Partial ClassesLeveraged partial classespartial keyword indicates other parts of the class may be defined elsewhereWhy not use interfaces?Separate cross-platform code from platform-specific code[click]Cross-platform and platform-specific code separated across multiple filesFunctionally equivalent to a single file with #if platform, but easier to manage

Portable Class LibrariesPortable class libraries are projects that target multiple frameworks and build to a binary that can be consumed by projects targeting one of those frameworks.Simple as new Portable Library, check the appropriate frameworks, click OK.Key thing here is the single binary. PCL have been out for a few years, but only within the past year have the Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android frameworks become possible targets. Xamarin and Microsoft worked together to make this possible.Not dynamic, uses profilesNot compatible with partial classes, which must not span binaries

Cross-platform C++Core portabilityEncapsulate existing C++ business logic into a library to reuse on Android, iOS, and WindowsUses the open sourced GCC, Clang/LLVM toolchain for targeting AndroidIntegrates with XamarinVisual Studio toolingProject templates support universal applications, Android, and iOSDebug C++ code in an Android device or emulatorC++ code works with IntelliSense, refactoring, debugging, and more in the IDE

Talking PointsMany organizations have large C++ code bases for their desktop apps. Instead of starting fresh for your mobile apps you can port your C++ to mobile platforms with minimal work.Points on the slides cover some of the details.

Background InformationClang: is the front end compiler for LLVM http://clang.llvm.org/LLVM is the collective name for modular and reusable compiler toolchain technologies http://www.llvm.org/Debugging C++ in VS2015: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2014/11/12/debugging-c-code-on-android-with-visual-studio-2015.aspxC++ in VS 2015: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2014/11/12/visual-studio-2015-preview-now-available.aspxCross-platform mobile development: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2014/11/12/cross-platform-mobile-development-with-visual-c.aspx

Talking PointsMany organizations have critical code bases written in C++ that they would like to bring forward to mobile platforms. Instead of re-implementing the code in a different language, cross-platform C++ supports you to move your code forward.

Cross-platform with C++Focus is on supporting libraries and not UIWorks with iOS and Android compatible technologies including Clang and LLVM plus LLDB/GDB for debuggingWhy customers will care?Developers can build C++ libraries that execute on multiple targets: Windows Desktop, Windows-Store, Windows-Phone, iOS and Android. Developers get all the software they require, together with easy options to track and update that software.Developers have a fully integrated solution all the way from code authoring to build, deploy and debug, with the full richness of the Visual Studio experience.Developers can build, debug and use C++ libraries from a C#/Xamarin app.Intellisense highlights the differences between

Better code

Live code analysisCode analysis has normally been static but with live code analysis you identify issues as you typeAnalysis is specific to your APIsAdd more code analyzers from NuGetWrite your own live code analyzer for your API with the .NET compiler platformAzure analyzer finds performance and security issuesBreakpoint configurationConfigure breakpoints for when conditions are met, hit count or on a filter (e.g., thread, process, machine) Set trace to print message on breakpoint

Talking PointsWaiting until runtime to find basic issues with your code is inefficient and could be problematic if you have to redesign a chunk of it.With Live Code Analysis tools you can identify issues while coding so they can be addressed right away.When you are debugging at runtime use breakpoint configurations to customize break conditions so you can be as granular as you need to be.

Talking Points.NET has evolved greatly recently to meet the needs of the variety of application patterns and platforms that need to be supported today.There are two key parts to .NETCore is a modular development stack so you can focus on only what you need for a smaller footprint. It is also cross-platform and can be run side-by-side with other verions of .NETFramework is the full .NET implements which is great for rich desktop applications

Background InformationIntroducing .NET Core: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2014/12/04/introducing-net-core.aspxNET Core is open source: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2014/11/12/net-core-is-open-source.aspx

.NET Core is essentially a fork of the NET Framework whose implementation is also optimized around factoring concerns. Even though the scenarios of .NET Native (touch based devices) and ASP.NET 5 (server side web development) are quite different, we were able to provide a unified Base Class Library (BCL).

Cross-platform build capabilitiesIncludes build definition templates to compile using Visual Studio, Xamarin for Android, or XcodeComprehensive build steps for a variety of technologies including Ant, CMake, Maven, Xcode Build, Android Build, and moreGet more from the build processContinuous integration to find build issues earlierOptions for creating your own build definition templates or use community templates from your Git provider

Talking PointsThe next generation build system will enable teams to more easily create custom build workflows by introducing reusable tasks and leverages a lightweight, web-based authoring environment. This build system will also be capable of building code from external systems such as GitHub by leveraging the REST APIs and service hooks infrastructure available in Visual Studio Team Services. Finally, a new cross-platform build agent will allow teams to run builds on non-Windows machines. This makes it possible for the first time to build on Linux machines and for iOS / OS X by running builds on Macs.
