Showcase of Xamarin Forms Student Projects

For the past weeks, I have been teaching Xamarin Forms to Software/System engineering students at INTEC University in the Dominican Republic. As a final project, they had to create a new Xamarin Forms application using any open-source API.

Today I’m very proud to show the result of these excellent applications that have been made in a very short period of time:

WikiHeroApp (Marvel vs DC)

This application displays Marvel and DC information using the ComicVine API. You can see characters, their powers, compare them, etc.

Pocket Bar

Among other things, it allows a user to List cocktails, Given a certain Cocktail, Given a certain Ingredient, Add Cocktail as Favorite and Share Cocktails for easy access, List cocktails By Name, Category, Glass Type, Ingredient or Random.

Final thoughts

When we talk about the benefits of Xamarin Forms, we always mention the short learning curve of this framework, these applications are an example that you can create beautiful and quality applications quickly using this framework.

Congratulations to my students, who did a very good job :).

  1. holy! you are a great teacher! all the apps look pretty cool! 😀 the projects in my school were pretty Meh! compared to this ones 😀

  2. Congrats to all your students! And to you as their teacher too…
    I have to assume the students didn’t have prior experience of xamarin forms, so their work is very very impressive!

  3. Hi,.

    I have only made 2x applications, both use code behind.

    What MVVM framework would you recommend for my first MVVM application? I notice one of these examples is made with PRISM.

    1. I recommend you to use Prism, it is easy to use and also encouraged you to apply good practices.

      1. Thanks for the reply @ char0394

        I will have a look for a udemy course, unless you can share some good tutorials

        thank you.

  4. Hi again,

    I will be making my first commercial application. Is it safe you use Mvvm Prism framework, it is likely to stop getting supported?
