This repository is a fork of https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/Hanselman.Forms converted to a Visual Studio 2015 project template called Hanselman Starter Project. Its main purpose is to help new cross-platform projects hit the floor running with a framework based on the original sample Hanselman app (see below).
- Download HanselmanStarter.zip
- Copy it to
C:\Users\{your-user-account}\Documents\{Visual Studio Version}\Templates\ProjectTemplates - The template can be found in Visual Studio:
File -> New -> Project -> Visual C#
Built with C# 6 features, you must be running VS 2015 or Xamarin Studio to compile.
The most awesome Hanselman app built in about 4 hours to showcase a sample of Xamarin.Forms. Be sure to read Scott's blog: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/XamarinFormsWriteOnceRunEverywhereANDBeNative.aspx
In this sample Hanselman app we show awesome information about the awesome man who is Scott Hanselman including reading in his blog & parsing with XDocument. Additionally, I use Linq2Twitter PCL to grab all of Scott's tweets, all using a nice MVVM Style and nearly 100% code reuse.

To setup Android wear simply install the main Hanselman app on your Android Phone and then the WearApp on your Android Wear device. HanselWear uses Google Play Services to synchronize Tweets from the main application. The code for this sync can be found in WearService.cs.
