    Use Your C# Skills to Build Native iOS, Android and Windows Phone Apps with Telerik UI for Xamarin

    With iOS claiming the majority of the high-end device market and Android winning almost everywhere else as well as Windows Phone continuing to gain developer mindshare steadily at 28% (source Vision Mobile: Developer Economics Q3 2014) it is clear that there isn’t one single winner of the mobile platform war.

    Adding Native Touches to Your Hybrid App

    Designing hybrid apps can be difficult. The challenge is to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build apps that feel at home on multiple mobile platforms with different UI paradigms. As hybrid developers we often argue over the merit of replicating native UIs in JavaScript, and toss around phrases like the uncanny valley effect, but […] The post Adding Native Touches to Your Hybrid App appeared first on Telerik Developer Network....
