What you'll learn

Xamarin.Forms promises the ability to maximize code sharing while maintaining access to the native platforms. In this course, Extending Xamarin.Forms, you’ll learn to expose native platform functionality to Xamarin.Forms. First, you’ll explore extending control functionality by creating custom Renderers. Next, you’ll discover how to use Effects to expose functionality without as much ceremony as Renderers. Finally, you’ll learn how to utilize native views to expose functionality to Xamarin.Forms with even less ceremony by embedding them directly in a control. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Effects, Renderers, and Native Views needed to extend Xamarin.Forms.
