| I can't afford xamarin | |
| Xamarin development for the frugal developer | |
| I would use Xamarin, but it's expensive. | |
| Abstract: | |
| Xamarin is an amzing toolchain, with an intimidating price. If a developer want to use | |
| one of the best IDEs ever created, Visual Studio, they are looking at a $1000 per platform | |
| license. This is a huge fee for any independent developer. However, there is a fantastic | |
| licence for those willing to break their dependency on Visual Studio. Join Tim Sneed as | |
| he shows how he uses Xamarin Studio (a free IDE), and the Xamarin Indie License | |
| to produce cross platform, native, mobile applications. | |
I'm a bit confused. Most of the titles seem to refer to Xamarin's high cost but the abstract is referring to Visual Studio's cost. And I'm not sure I'd compare those two for the moment. Xamarin has a slightly different use case in my (full disclosure) never having used it experience. Xamarin for cross platform and mobile.
I really like the idea of the talk but I'm wondering about the concrete goal of the talk. Maybe just keep the first title but as "Exploring Xamarin Studio Indie Style".
-- Hope this isn't duplicated since I had to enter it twice. If it is duped disregard the first one since I was confused on the license in reference --
Nice. This is a talk I'd be interested in hearing! 👍
Is this working? I must be doing something wrong.

A bit confusing. Most of the titles refer to Xamarin's high cost. But the abstract is referring to Visual Studio's high cost and saying Xamarin's free for indie dev. That needs to be ironed out.
As for indie license I'm curious what a more concrete goal on this one is (I really like the idea though). VS Express although limited in abilities (no plugins argh) has no limit on size of app. Where as Xamarin has a limit on app size but then again Xamarin has cross platform capabilities.
