<p>Today's rich multi-platform marketplace--iOS, Android, and Windows--makes it increasingly difficult and costly to maintain apps for your diverse customers. Fortunately, tools exist that allow you to generate platform-specific apps from a shared source code project--sharing what code makes sense while still writing native code so your apps look their best on each platform:
<ul><li>Xamarin for developers working with C# and XAML-style UI</li><li>Apache Cordova for developers working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript</li><li>Unity for developers working with C++ and to-the-metal graphics and gaming <ul></p><p>Microsoft Visual Studio today has extensive support for all of these options, enabling you to work within one of the industry's most powerful IDEs to design, code, test, and deploy apps on a variety of platforms. Visual Studio also brings powerful Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) features to the table through Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Online, enabling you to manage your agile teams and projects throughout the lifecycle. Furthermore, Visual Studio works with your services on Microsoft Azure, helping you build a strong platform-neutral backend to power your mobile client experiences. <.p><p>In this session we'll explore all the options and capabilities that Visual Studio provides today, discuss their relative strengths and requirements, and help you find the best tools for your projects.</p>
