MvvmCross v3

This project provides a cross-platform mvvm mobile development framework built on top of:

  • Silverlight for WP7, WP8
  • Mono for Android (or Xamarin.Android)
  • MonoTouch for iOS (or Xamarin.iOS)
  • the WinRT XAML framework for Windows 8 Store apps.
  • WPF
  • Mono for Mac (or Xamarin.Mac)

This project makes extensive use of Portable Class Libraries to provide maintainable cross platform C# native applications.

Getting started

A really quick way to get started is to use the Visual Studio 2012 MvvmCross Ninja Coder Extension - download it from http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/618b51f0-6de8-4f85-95ce-a50c658c7767

Ninja Plugin

I have started a tutorial series entitled N+1 Days of MvvmCross starting with the basics of your first MvvmCross application and covering lists, commands, binding, and more with samples for each device. The code for N+1 Days of MvvmCross is available on GitHub

For more documents and articles, see the wiki: https://github.com/MvvmCross/MvvmCross/wiki

How to get involved

If you have questions, then please ask them on StackOverflow with tag mvvmcross - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mvvmcross?sort=newest

Alternatively, people on Xamarin forums can be very helpful - http://forums.xamarin.com/

There is a Jabbr room - on http://jabbr.net/#/rooms/mvvmcross - but please ask questions on StackOverflow if you can - this helps make the questions and the answers better!

If I haven't seen your question and no-one else has helped, then you can also contact me - me at slodge dot com - but please be patient with me if I'm busy with work.

If you need professional support, then please do contact me - I work freelance and can assist. Please do consider hiring me - everyone likes 'free', but I'm worth paying for :)

If you find bugs or have feature requests, then please report them through GitHub - https://github.com/MvvmCross/MvvmCross/issues

If you would like to help make MvvmCross even better, then please do:

  • new code - including pull requests via GitHub - or you can fork the project and build your own extensions
  • new plugins - can be hosted in your own repositories
  • please do blog about your adventures with MvvmCross - we're currently very light on documentation!
  • if you use the framework, then please let me know - we love to see what people are doing with it.
