Summary

In this chapter, we built a simple three-page app with static data, leveraging the most basic concepts of the Xamarin.Forms toolkit. We used the default Xamarin.Forms navigation APIs to move between the three pages, which we will refactor in Chapter 3, Navigation, to use a more flexible, custom navigation approach.

Now that we have built the foundation of the app, including the basic UI for each page within the app, we'll begin enhancing the app with better architecture design patterns, live data with offline syncing, nicer looking UI elements, and tests. In the next chapter, we will introduce the MVVM pattern and data binding to the app to enforce a separation between the user interface layer and the business and data access logic.
