Attention App Developers! See my 1st Xamarin blog post!
http://blog.xamarin.com/tom-hanks-vintage-typewriter-inspired-hanx-writer-app/
I interviewed developer Jonathan Peppers of Hitcents about his Tom Hanks inspired app called Hanx Writer. How did Tom Hanks inspire this app? Read the blog to find out! I think you will enjoy this post as it provides great info on how this app was built using the Xamarin Platform. He includes a wealth of knowledge including which API’s he used when he built this app. Enjoy and by all means please share!
Please tweet w #hanxwriter and download the Hanx Writer iPad app which was just released today!
Screen shot from the new Hanx app just released today!

I had the great pleasure of chatting with Microsoft RD Patrick Hynds and I contributed a few quotes to his latest article in SD Times Magazine on Azure. We talked about how Xamarin fits nicely into this scenario. Xamarin has an Azure Mobile Services Component in the Xamarin Component Store.
Enjoy a good read at:

Xamarin is specifically mentioned on page 9:
