Thank you for these awesome tutorials! These are very helpful for us who are not familiar with Xamarin Forms. By showing in which files should we make the code changes makes it easier to understand how this works. Keep up the good work!

Hi, this is very helpful to us. Thank you so much for giving us valuable stuff. One thing i have to ask is we are planning to develop same thing on VS2017 Xamarin.Forms. But you have told every thing on Xamarin Studio IOS. Is this all stuff will helpful us for developing the same in VS2017 too without code changes or syntax change.
