[DUG] Opinion wanted - is the upgrade from XE5 to XE6 worthwhile

[Leigh Wanstead]

Hi Stephen,

C# actually is Xamarin android, iOS :-)

I think Xe6 price is cheap compare to Xamarin solution :-)

But Xamarin allows you to write xamarin.forms for android, iOs and windows
8 phone in a single code base with native look for each platform. :-)

The key word compare to Xe6 is native control for each platform :-)

Regards
Leigh
