Article - Xamarin How-To: Controls for Navigating Between Screens in iOS
Article Url: http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2014/01/01/xamarin-how-to.aspx
Developers like to create simple examples. Typically, these examples are a screen of data and controls that users can work with. But rarely are real-world applications a single screen of data. iOS provides developers with several standard mechanisms to allow users to navigate between multiple screens of data. This article will examine two controls that developers can use to provide easy navigation for users: the UINavigationController and the UITabBarController.
I hope that you enjoy the article. Thank you for your time and consideration. -

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.

#5 Article in Visual Studio Magazine for 2013
Greg Shackles and I write the Cross Platform in C# column for Visual Studio Magazine. This column started in January 2012 with an email from Keith Ward regarding my interest in a monthly column on what was then called Mono for Android. He had seen several of my articles already (I'm shocked he was interested because he HAD seen the articles) and had seen a good number of page views associated with them. First off, I was pleasantly surprised. It is an honor to have anyone think highly enough to want a guy that failed english in high school to want to write a column. Secondly, I had to think on this for a while. My friend Doug Turnure had asked me about joining a secret project at Microsoft to pump up the number of Windows 8 apps at launch. Thankfully, that did not happen, at least they did not want me on it. I never recieved any more info on it, so I just considered that they had enough people and weren't look for any more.
