.NET Standard and Xamarin.Forms for the .NET Developer | The Xamarin Show

In this episode, Laurent Bugnion and Jeremy Likness from the Cloud Developer Avocates team come together and talk about Xamarin.Forms, and how it uses .NET Standard to provide cross-platform compatibility. Jeremy takes his first tour of a Xamarin.Forms app guided by Laurent, and sees how his experience as a .NET, WPF (and former Silverlight) developer is helping him to get started with native iOS and Android development with Xamarin, C# and XAML. Jeremy and Laurent also talk about .NET Standard, the difference with Portable Class Libraries and why you should probably move to this new cross-platform model soon.

Ah, Silverlight, probably Microsoft's best coolest named product followed by Vista. Fancy looking products that were short-lived
