What you need for this book

The book uses C# and JavaScript in the samples, and we will use Visual Studio 2013 as the IDE of choice. You will also be able to use Visual Studio 2013 Community edition, which is the free edition. You will need to have NuGet installed, which can be accessed at http://www.nuget.org. For the Xamarin part of this book, you will need to have access to a Mac with XCode installed, plus Xamarin Studio, which you can download at http://www.xamarin.com. Xamarin does provide a plugin for Visual Studio, but it needs to work in conjunction with a tool running on Mac OS X that compiles the code for use on iOS and also runs it either on iOS Simulator or a real device.
