So, this week I started working on my first mobile app with Xamarin Forms. I already have a login and register functionality. The mobile app is connected to an Laravel API and SQL database. Happy with the progress so far.

I am new to C# so I had some struggles, but after some days I began to really like it.

    Ive never used xamarin myself, currently learning Asp.Net core myself as a second backend language coming from PHP (with love for laravel for making PHP decent)

    Once you have some progress please share what you think about xamarin.

    @BindView hahaha 😂 why?

    Using php with Laravel isn't that bad. I had the choice using python with Django or php with Laravel. Because of the project size, I think Laravel was the better choice for it.

    About C#, I read a lot of good things about it on Devrant and with Xamarin Forms cross platform development is possible. And I don't like java.

    So on topic, I don't like to hurt myself and feel pleasure with pain. I am just looking for the right frameworks to use.

    @Codex404 I'll keep you updated. So far I think it's nice to have an framework for mobile cross platform development using c# as language.

    @Codex404 So far my experience with Xamarin.

    I really like it. Xamarin itself is nothing wrong with. I use mvvm for data binding. It's different than Laravel, but with the knowledge of mvc it's easy doable.

    As I came from php myself, in the beginning I had some struggles with C#. Sometimes I still have, but I think C# overall is a really nice language with a lot of features.

    The thing I have the most struggles with is Xaml haha

    @SaltStack completely forgot about this. Thanks a ton for responding <3

    I started planning making my first Xamarin app for my new android phone today. Since I already have XAML experience I think I will manage.
