Argis Runtime SDK for .NET: Building Xamarin Apps ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET: Building Xamarin Apps Nathan Castle | Thad Tilton Agenda • Xamarin Overview - What it is and why you would use it - Xamarin and ArcGIS Runtime • Getting started - System requirements - Resources and tools • Develop apps with Xamarin - Forms - Native • Recommended patterns • Tips and tricks Xamarin Overview What it is and why you would use it “If you’re interested in mobile development and have .NET background, you’re basically already 80% there. All the architecture, libraries and so on—all of that will be available and familiar to you [in Xamarin].” --James Montemagno, Principal Program Manager, Mobile Developer Tools (Microsoft) What is it? • Software suite for cross-platform .NET development • Libraries for iOS and Android - Mono – open-source .NET implementation for non-Windows platforms - Platform bindings – surface iOS and Android APIs to C# - Xamarin Forms – cross-platform UI library • Development tools - Integrated with Visual Studio - Windows or Mac What can you do with it? • Build .NET apps for iOS, Android, Windows • Write code using C# - Share code across platforms - Leverage platform-specific capabilities as needed • Write UI markup with Xamarin Forms XAML - Share markup across iOS, Android, and UWP • Write platform-specific (native) UI - AXML for Android - Storyboards for iOS - XAML for UWP Why would I use it? Visual Studio and C# Extensive developer community Rapid development Code re-use (cross-platform) UI components render with native look and feel All platform capabilities available Rapid updates Two approaches for Xamarin development … 1. Xamarin Forms: a lot of shared code, less control • UI is defined with a Xamarin flavor of XAML <TimePicker x:Name="StartTimePicker"/> • Subset of UI elements • Rendered as native controls for each platform • Basic cross-platform functionality 2. Xamarin Native: less shared code, more control • Each UI is created using platform-specific controls • *.axml (Android), *.storyboard (iOS), *.xaml (UWP) • User experience is true to the platform • More platform-specific control Getting started Requirements and resources Xamarin with ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET • APIs for … - iOS - Android - Forms (supports iOS, Android, UWP) • One common .NET API surface • High-performance 2D and 3D mapping • Take data and functionality offline • Utilize device sensors ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET • NuGet packages from NuGet.org within Visual Studio - APIs: WPF, UWP, Android, iOS, Forms (Android, iOS, UWP) - Toolkit • Visual Studio extension (VSIX) - Visual Studio Extensions manager or developers.arcgis.com/downloads - Project templates for each platform - Local NuGet packages - Not available for Visual Studio for macOS ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET • Samples: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-samples-dotnet • Toolkit (source): https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-toolkit-dotnet • Open source apps: https://developers.arcgis.com/example-apps/ • Documentation - Developers Guide, API reference, Samples - https://developers.arcgis.com/net/ - Tutorials - https://developers.arcgis.com/labs/ • Community and support: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/support/ Xamarin IDE options Windows or Mac Mac OS X Windows Visual Studio for Mac Visual Studio Xamarin Native iOS Requires Mac build host Android macOS * Xamarin Forms iOS Requires Mac build host Android UWP * Not available for ArcGIS Runtime for .NET apps More info at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/#vs_mac_table Code sharing options • NET Standard library - Defines a set of .NET APIs that can be shared across multiple platforms - Available functionality depends on the .NET Standard version - Code is compiled into an assembly that can be easily shared • Shared projects - Code is compiled into each referencing project - Can use compiler directives (#if) to add platform-specific logic • Portable Class Library (deprecated) - Common API surface that uses interfaces for platform-specific logic • . Demo: Resources developers.arcgis.com Demo: Create a cross-platform Xamarin app Demo Summary What did we see? IDE Productivity - Use Visual Studio for Mac for iOS Android HTTP performance and TLS 1.2 support - Use AndroidClientHandler Toolkit components - Scaleline, Compass, Time Slider Open Source Apps - Lots of app logic at your disposal .NET Standard - Build cross-platform libraries Share your getting started experiences! • How can we make the SDK better for you? - Documentation and samples improvements? • What was hard when you got started? - …and what was easy? • What was great? (so we can do more of it) • What did you wish you knew when you first started? • What would have saved you a lot of time? .

Taking security and shifting it to the left allows organizations and projects to prevent errors and failures Open source software is everywhere, before a security incident happens. powering the languages, frameworks, and GitHub works hard to secure our community and applications your team uses every day. the open source software you use, build on, and contribute to.

The State of Enterprise Open Source study by Red Hat confirmed that “95 percent of respondents say open source is strategically important” for organizations.

  • Tablets in the Enterprise: Comparing the Total Cost of Ownership
    TABLETS IN THE ENTERPRISE: COMPARING THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Windows 8 tablets provide a PC experience, which for many workers is essential to maintaining productivity. With Windows 8, users can run familiar desktop applications, maintaining productivity without having to find new ways to carry out their tasks. They can read, edit, and print their emails and Office documents—tasks that can be a challenge on other tablets. In addition to these productivity advantages, Intel Core i5 processor and Windows 8 tablets can provide enterprises with total cost of ownership (TCO) savings of up to 18 percent compared to other tablets. We expect additional TCO savings with Intel Core vPro™ processor-based tablets due to their additional manageability capabilities. We estimate tablets with Intel Architecture and Windows 8 will have lower TCO than other tablets, primarily due to the following: reduced software costs lower management costs improved end-user productivity JANUARY 2013 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES WHITE PAPER Commissioned by Intel Corp. TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP OF TABLETS IN THE ENTERPRISE In this paper, we first present a TCO analysis for a hypothetical enterprise considering four major categories of tablets for their employees: Microsoft Windows 8 tablets, Windows RT tablets, Android tablets, and Apple iPads. Because the ranges of prices and capabilities differ among models within each category, we selected a single representative model for each. Following this analysis, we discuss the dominant issues in enterprise tablet computing as of this writing. We base our TCO analysis on the primary assumptions in Figure 1. Tablets must be nine inches or larger with 64 GB of storage and Wi-Fi support.
