In this chapter, we created our first iOS application in Xamarin Studio. We covered Apple's MVC design pattern to better understand the relationship between UIViewController and UIView and also covered how to use the iOS designer in Xamarin Studio for editing storyboard files. Next, we created our first Android application in Xamarin Studio and learned the activity lifecycle in Android. We also used Xamarin's Android designer to make changes to Android XML layouts.

In the next chapter, we'll cover various techniques for sharing code across platforms with Xamarin Studio. We'll go over different ways for architecting your cross-platform application and how to set up projects and solutions for use in either Visual Studio or Xamarin...
