C# for mobile development?

Question

ASP.NET

I have little experience in developing in C# (mainly ASP.NET MVC), but initially I came to programming with the desire to write mobile applications (Android, iOS), but it turned out that I started with ASP.NET. I really liked the C# language (especially in view of the extreme intolerance of C ++). And now the question arose - is it worth trying to switch to mobile native (Java, Swift) development, stay in the field of ASP.NET (especially in light of the release of ASP.NET Core 1.0) or even try something like Xamarin, because. don't really want to leave your favorite C#? Thanks in advance for your replies!

Answer 1

If you like C# - develop in the backend according to the technology branch from Microsoft. There are many corporate systems and projects there, you will not be left without work. But it’s not suitable for freelancing, it’s more of an office-corporate direction. Demand for asp.net is good, especially as it's moving in the right direction lately.
I like it for mobile - try Java, it is very similar to C #, the transition will be easy. If you don't like it, leave it. Xamarin is an interesting thing, but for its own purposes. There is still nothing faster than a native.

Answer 2

C# -> Unity3D (games and more)

Answer 3

monoproject ? I mean without xamarin

Answer 4

Xamarin is highly discouraged. Although this is C#, it is not a Microsoft product. In this case, this is a minus, because after developing on ASP.NET it becomes hard to endure a bunch of Xamarin jambs.
