This document discusses the mobile development platform Xamarin and its benefits for enterprises. It is presented by Bluetube, an award-winning digital agency established in 1999. Bluetube argues that Xamarin allows developers to write native mobile apps in C# that can target iOS, Android, and Windows using shared code, with benefits including lower maintenance costs and the ability to use a single codebase and skillset across platforms. While Xamarin presents some challenges around UI development and code sharing, Bluetube's experience indicates it can reduce development efforts by 25%+ with 50% code reuse between iOS and Android apps.
