Description

Want to contribute to Xamarin.Android? Don’t know how?

Jon will demo how to build Xamarin.Android from source (on a Windows machine!). A product containing C/C++, Java, C#, and MSBuild code is a beast to figure out… No coding superpowers needed, promise.

General learnings will include:
– Overview of how Xamarin.Android works: parts that make up an APK, startup sequence, etc.
– Knowledge/use of MSBuild, debugging MSBuild tasks
– Modify Xamarin.Android, build an app, see what happens!
