Quickly use Xamarin to make cool applications

​Someone constantly asks me a question on social media: How to make a good-looking application with Xamarin.Forms? This is a very good question. Anyone can create a good-looking application with just a little inspiration and a little style. First of all, I am not a designer, nor do I claim to be a designer, but there are many great inspirations in application design, including Dribbble , uplabs and so on. These talented designs from all over the world can help influence the look and feel of your own apps.

Great Xamarin.Forms built-in features

There are several great features in Xamarin.Forms, and you can use these great features to help implement these designs. Just look at the new Shapes API and you can draw shapes, lines, polygons and more. Want your native controls to have a consistent look and feel? How about Material Design CarouselView with IndicatorView , and of course CollectionView to perfectly combine your CollectionView collection.
