It’s hard to feel any sympathy for software developers. They’re one of the most employable groups of people on Earth, and they can apply their skills to almost anything they want. However, they’re working in the technology industry which is defined by constant change. A piece of software that used to need to run on a single platform is now expected to work on all kinds of devices. Xamarin is the answer for developers who want their software to work for as many people as possible. The San Francisco, CA based company allows developers to write “apps entirely in C#, sharing the same code on iOS, Android, Windows and Mac.” Why do something four different ways when you can do it once?
I’ve been a Mac user for a long time. The big knock against the platform used to be that most good software was only available on Windows. Those days are long over, but today many companies have to prioritize one platform over others. Developer time is precious, and it should be spent on making a better product–not building the same thing for a number of different platforms. Xamarin offers tools that “make it fast, easy and fun to build great mobile apps.” Odds are that you’ve probably used at least a few apps that were developed with Xamarin (more than half a million developers are using it). If you think that’s pretty cool and would like to work to “delight developers,” visit Xamarin’s Careers page. They have a ton of opportunities available including:
There are a ton of options, so hopefully something fits your interests.
