For anyone analyzing which of these technologies to use or for anyone who is using one and is wondering how it compares to the others, this session is for you.

One question I am frequently asked is how classic Xamarin, Xamarin Forms, and Cordova compare to native technologies in terms of performance. In this session, I'll look at an application written on all of these development stacks for iOS and Android and compare them to each other in a number of different areas including CPU intensive tasks, IO intensive tasks, memory management, application size, code reuse and load times. For anyone analyzing which of these technologies to use or for anyone who is using one and is wondering how it compares to the others, this session is for you.

You will learn:

  • About native, classic Xamarin, Xamarin Forms, and Cordova each have areas where they excel and areas where they are at a disadvantage
  • About the numerous options that can have significant impact on the application from size and performance
