When the Android device manager is showing error instead of start, what is the solution

[@prinautospares]

Can't wait to start building apps. Your teaching style is so clear and detailed. You make learning easy. Be blessed.

[@juanbanuelos2934]

OMG thats the kind of videos that i need ,i need details to not get frustrated while learning

[@paulreinhardt6052]

Exactly what I was looking for - how to test on iOS w/o needing a Mac. I saved your video for reference. Going to try this out this week.

[@TheDan1371]

About to start diving into this and build my first app, thank you for this video and I cant wait to watch the rest and go from there! Subscribed!

[@cameronleebell97]

Love this tutorial, great pacing, information, and clarity. Found it very useful

[@revronvic]

I began as a Visual Basic (3.0) developer, built business applications using Visual Studio for the banks in my city until leaving development in 2008. I am now learning development on mobile devices and this video you have is excellent. I have just subscribed to your channel and will view your others. Thank you for the getting started video!👍

[@anirbansaha4793]

Firstly very much thank you for your wonderful explanation.. I started my IT career with xamarin application.. I was confused and tensed where to look after to start.. then I found your series.. just loved it.. Thank you soo much

[@douglastrouette1583]

Great vid. It's nice to hear English I can understand. Your explanations about the videos content is neither too complicated nor too dumbed down and I feel I can learn from you. Thanks for that. On to the next video!

[@JamesMontemagno]

Awesome, thank you!

[@chester0bennington]

Thank you so much! You've explained everything in a very understandable way

[@khalednabilcs]

[@denisdominguez7287]

Clear, simple and direct. Awesome video, mate! 😁👍

[@Ianuarius]

Really clear and nice tutorial that's filled with information without getting bogged down or being confusing. Some people just know how to do them!

[@ziebplew]

Really appreciate the video. This was super helpful! I'm working on a Xamarin app for work and this was a great starting point to learn.

[@linneydew450]

Very informative and well done! I'm eager to begin the series. And I subscribed too. Thank you.

[@pruthvirajchauhan6095]

I Am a beginner and the way you describe, it help me a lot. Thank You So much Man....

[@LisaKinoti]

I just want to say Thank you, James!!! You are a lifesaver! You have no idea. Developing a mobile app for school to complete the term so whether I pass or not depends on this project. I was intimidated by all the moving parts at first but you explained everything very well and in a language, I could understand (not too technical). I have learned not only how to create the app but also why things are the way they are in the IDE. I wish I could send you a gift basket but just accept my thanks. Subscribing now!

[@akiveo006]

James you are awesome! Thanks, I have started learning mobile app development by today onwards..

[@kaiwang2924]

Thanks James, I really like your video. It is easy to follow, exactly what developers need.

[@carlosespinoza9539]

Amazing ... i will follow all the course. Thanks from Ecuador

[@stanleyakachukwu7881]

Man, this is cool. I have been thinking of budgeting for Mac just so that I preview or simulate IOS. But this video cleared all my questions. So all I need now is to plug in my iPhone and with HOT RESTART and I am good to go. I am glad! Thanks, James. I can't delay coming back for more. Already hit the subscribed!

[@tristanmeijer7080]

I'm trying to use my iphone as a simulator on my Windows device but it doesn't work. To make this work you have to be registered as an Apple developer. This is really annoying cause it cost 99 bugs a year 😥Does anybody knows a different way to connect apple device on Windows for debugging?

[@alexanderhall5702]

WOW I LOVE C# AND XAMARIN! THANK YOJ FOR THE VIDEO

[@generalchannel8833]

High 5 for you! This is a great tutorial to start with, you have given me a basic understanding of this all. Thanks for the great work. Please I want to know how to start xamarin more from here, grid and stacklayout and how to add buttons and the rest, how to make c# communicate with them. Thanks
