  *The OpenSource and former commercial [[http://www.xamarin.com/|Xamarin]] - "Build apps with C# and .NET for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows".
    *[[http://store.xamarin.com/|Xamarin Store]].
    *The former free codesize-limited [[http://www.xamarin.com/starter|Xamarin Starter Edition]].

    *[[http://www.twitter.com/xamarinhq|Twitter "Xamarin"]].
    *The "xamarininstaller" is just an installer, it downloads files to the directory "<TempDir>/Xamarin/downloads", e.g. "C:\temp\Xamarin\downloads".
=== The OpenSource Framework ===
    *[[http://open.xamarin.com/|Xamarin Open Source]], [[http://www.github.com/xamarin|GitHub "Xamarin"]] - "Xamarin SDK is now fully available under the MIT license".
    *[[http://www.xamarin.com/licensing|Mono Licensing. Xamarin has relicensed the Mono runtime under the MIT license and has contributed the code for Mono, as well as the Xamarin SDKs for iOS and Android to the .NET Foundation]].

  *There is no GUI designer for XAMARIN Forms. I.e. you may not use the Visual Studio GUI designer.

=== Literature ===
  *The free Kindle E-Book [[http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00VYSSNJW/hemmerling-21|Charles Petzold "Creating Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Forms Preview Edition 2"]].
=== Education ===
  *[[http://university.xamarin.com/|Xamarin University]].
=== Codesize Limits of the former free Starter Edition ===
  *2015-11 - Codesize limit 128K.
    *[[http://www.xamarin.com/faq#q18|Xamarin FAQ]], 2015-11 - "Xamarin Starter is our free tier that allows developers to build and publish simple apps that contain no more than **128k** of compiled user code (IL), don't call out to native third party libraries (i.e., developers may not P/Invoke into C/C++/Objective-C/Java), and are built using Xamarin.iOS / Xamarin.Android (**not Xamarin.Forms**). Xamarin Starter installs automatically with Visual Studio 2015, and works with VS 2012, 2013, and 2015 (including Community Editions)".
  *2015-02 - Codesize limit 64K.
    *[[http://www.thinkgeo.com/forums/MapSuite/tabid/143/aft/12481/Default.aspx|ThinkGeo Forums "Supporting Xamarin Starter/Visual Studio Community Editions"]], 2015-02-19 - "For the Xamarin starter plan, I think we might not support it right now. Because Xamarin limits the size of the compiled user code (IL) to 64k (It is double size now. It is used to be 32k)".
  *2013-02 - Codesize limit 32K.

  *[[http://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/2912/xamarin-starter-edition-build-limits|Xamarin Forum "Tools and Libraries / Xamarin Studio / Xamarin Starter Edition - build limits?"]].
    *Question: "Can you clarify if the build limit for Xamarin Studio Starter edition is" ?
    *Answer: "It's per application. When you build an iOS or Android executable project, the build process scans the executable and finds the assemblies it uses in order to includes them in the app. The executable and the assemblies it references are all are all counted towards the size limit, with the exception of the assemblies that are part of the framework. Note that even if the linker is set to removed unused methods from user code, the size calculation is performed before this takes place".
    *Comment: "You wouldn't be able to use even MonoGame for example in the starter edition".
  *[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xamarin|EN.Wikipedia "Xamarin"]].

===== XAML & XAML Tools =====
  *Visual-Studio and Expression-Blend may be used to generate and display XAML. 
    *See [[windowsphone.html|Windows Phone]] and See [[sdevtools.html|Software Development Tools]].
  *The free lightweight XAML editor [[http://www.kaxaml.com/|Kaxaml]], [[http://kaxaml.codeplex.com/|CodePlex "kaxaml"]], [[http://github.com/thinkpixellab/kaxaml|GitHub "thinkpixellab/kaxaml"]] - "supports .NET 4.0, WPF + Silverlight".
    *Experts told me that the tool originally was intended for learning XAML. Thats why it is no GUI designer, but you must know the XAML syntax precicely, without any tool support, to create a GUI interface...
