Training on Xamarin Visual Studio 2013 Plugin, .NET 4.5 async/await Support, HttpClient, and other New Features
I have a new training class out on Xamarin. This session will cover
the new features that Xamarin has provided in their mid-2013 update.
These new features include support for iOS 7 (iPhone and iPad), but don't
require iOS7. I hope you enjoy this class. My favorite features here
are the Visual Studio 2013 support for iOS, which I use every day, the .NET
4.5 async/await support, and the HttpClient.
