If you have been working with Xamarin for a while then you are probably familiar with the site https://developer.xamarin.com and haven’t been there in a while, you are in for a treat. The docs have been migrated to the new Microsoft Documentation Platform.

The new platform is great. Pretty much every technology that you would want to work with is here. In this case we go to the Xamarin section and we have all the docs handy. Lets dive into the “Getting Started” document.

Inside each of the documents the page is divided into three columns. The left column is a table of contents for the current document and the right hand column contains indexes into the sections of the current page. The middle column has all the information.

One of my favorite features is at the very bottom of the left hand column. If you are traveling and are going to be offline for a while, there is a link there that will create an offline pdf file that you can download to your own computer. I use it every time I fly somewhere.

Also, if you feel like contributing, there is a link at the bottom to take you to the GitHub repo where you can submit issues with the documentation and even submit new articles and updates. If you are so interested, make sure to read the contribution guidelines first!
