I would like to acknowledge the many people without whom this book would not have been possible.

First and foremost, I want to thank my parents, my wife Kelly, and my two daughters, Camden and Colby, for their loving support, encouragement, and enthusiasm.

Many thanks to Scott Lock, Art Lucia, Josh Blanchard, and all my amazing colleagues at InfernoRed Technology for always inspiring me to learn more and improve myself.

Special thanks to the awesome team at Xamarin, especially Joseph Hill, James Montemagno, Jayme Singleton, Krystin Stutesman, and Spencer Montgomery for their ongoing community support and partnership.

I can't thank the wonderful people at Packt enough for everything they have done to make this book a reality. Thank you Rashmi Suvarna, Tushar Gupta, and Murtaza Tinwala for all your support and patience.

And last but not least, thank you dear reader—I hope you enjoy this book!
