Dont buy this book, waste of money and time. The code examples are not complete, i had to go and add some things on my own. Luckily i had done iOS and Android natively so i could figure most the missing code, but if you are new, you will struggle and spend your time on a goose chase. You can see the provided code sample are different from the code in the book.
Excellent. One of the best technical books I've read and required reading if you are serious about xplat with Xamarin. Run out and buy it but make sure you get the latest edition.
Self studying with this book. Easy, and useful description for me. :)
