The Xamarin platform consists of a number of elements that allow you to develop applications for iOS and Android:
- C# language – Allows you to use a familiar syntax and sophisticated features like Generics, LINQ and the Parallel Task Library.
- Mono .NET framework – Provides a cross-platform implementation of the extensive features in Microsoft’s .NET framework.
- Compiler – Depending on the platform, produces a native app (eg. iOS) or an integrated .NET application and runtime (eg. Android). The compiler also performs many optimizations for mobile deployment such as linking away un-used code.
- IDE tools – The Visual Studio on Mac and Windows allows you to create, build, and deploy Xamarin projects.
