Falko Schindler studied geodesy and geoinformatics and earned a doctoral degree in photogrammetry. In 2014, he started writing mobile apps at Perpetual Mobile, a software company in Muenster, Germany. Since May 2014, the early hours of Xamarin.Forms, he focuses on this new and promising framework and spends significant effort in solving real-world problems, tracing bugs and developing clean, simple and stable solutions. As a result, he came up with this comprehensive collection of Xamarin.Forms code recipes for the most common tasks in cross-platform app development.
