Microsoft&rsquo\;s Portable Class Libraries(PCL) have become an extremely popular way to create true cross platform librar ies\, that even run on platforms like Android and iOS. PCLs allow you to write all of your logic in one project and compile to one library and the n add it to any targeted platforms. As a subset of the .NET framework the re are important design and implementation decisions to take into conside ration when building and using PCLs. This session will show you how to ge t the most out of PCL projects\, including strategies for structuring cro ss-platform solutions\, and tips for using PCLs to replace your favorite missing .NET features. Take code reuse to the next level with PCLs and Xa marin in your Android\, iOS\, Windows Phone\, and Windows Store apps.

In this session you will learn what Portable Class Libraries a
re and if you should use Portable Class Libraries by learning the positiv
es and negatives that come along with PCLs. I will walk through getting s
tarted creating truly reusable Portable Class Library targeting Xamarin.A
ndroid\, Xamarin.iOS\, Windows Phone\, and Windows Store. We we will add
new features by writing code once in your PCL and have it available for u
se on all platforms in C# or VB.NET!
