About:
Xamarin Workbooks is an interactive coding environment that combines rich text documentation with executable C# code cells. It provides a live playground for exploring APIs, prototyping logic, and learning Xamarin frameworks without the overhead of a full project. The tool is ideal for creating interactive tutorials and sharing reproducible code samples.
Key Features:
  • Interactive C# code execution in a live environment
  • Rich text documentation integrated with code cells
  • Cross-platform support for iOS, Android, and macOS
  • Seamless integration with Visual Studio and Visual Studio for Mac
  • Real-time API exploration and prototyping
Use Cases:
  • Creating interactive learning materials and tutorials
  • Prototyping and testing mobile app logic without full compilation
  • Exploring Xamarin and .NET APIs in a live environment
  • Sharing reproducible code examples with teams
Alternatives:
  • Jupyter Notebooks – General-purpose interactive notebooks for multiple languages, but lacks native Xamarin/mobile integration
  • LinqPad – Powerful .NET code scratchpad, but focused on desktop/server scenarios without mobile framework tooling
