Webinar Recap: Getting Started on Xamarin.Forms with Powerful Tools from Infragistics Ultimate UI

Daizen Ikehara / Sunday, March 25, 2018

I held a webinar for the APAC region: Getting Started on Xamarin.Forms with Powerful Tools from Infragistics Ultimate UI.

I explained Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms Overview, Pros and Cons, and then demonstrated Productivity Tools below:

Xamarin.Forms - Pros & Cons

One question I received in the webinar was the performance difference between Native apps vs Xamarin/Xamarin.Forms. In the webinar, I commented there should be overhead. 
I spent some time after the webinar and found an interesting article.

altexsoft - Performance Comparison: Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android vs Android and iOS Native Applications

It seems there are "some" performance gaps between Native vs Xamarin/Xamarin.Forms, but as the article mentioning, a human can notice delay above 500 ms.
Most of the results in the article are smaller than the threshold and I would say it's still worth to choose Xamarin or Xamarin.Forms for your native mobile app development framework.
