Xamarin Studio 3 - First Look
First look at Xamarin Studio 3: new IDE features, improved debugging, F# support, and why it's revolutionizing mobile development.
Few days back I got a mail from Xamarin about their launch of a new IDE. And also for the registration of a webinar. And just like always they again managed to blow my mind. I don't know what else they are having for the upcoming evolve conference.
Xamarin is like technical democracy.
A company of Technical People, by the technical people and for the technical people.
Kinda awesome. Just like their new studio. I normally work on Windows and have Visual Studio installed on my machine. Still many times I prefer to use Xamarin Studio. This new launch will force me to do so more often. It is not crashing anymore like the older version while debugging. Even F# is now a first class citizen of it.
I am currently facing an error while running an Android + F# project but I guess that will be some issue on my end only.
Complete new designer, Xamarin.Forms API to provide abstraction for LOB applications and a flowless studio. If this year will be known as the mobile development revolution, Xamarin people will be considered as pioneers of that revolution. I will write more about mobile applications + F#. Now, I can't wait to dirty my hands with some Android code and that is also in F#.
<3 <3 <3 Xamarin. You know I seriously do love you people.
