 Xamarin could access almost all the native iOS or android API, and it's able
 to build with C# by drop controls like old windows forms, or you could build
 WebView by use the cshtml, which you can add js, html inside the Xamarin. This
 blog demo how to get start with Xamarin.

Requirement
<ul>
 <li>Visual Studio 2015 (Windows)</li>
</ul>

 By Default, visula studio 2015 already contains Xamarin, but once when you try
 to create Xamarin project, it will ask you to download following software.

<ul>
 <li>Android SDK</li>
 <ul>
 <li>
 For running android, but it's better you also install the Android Studio,
 or Java SDK, Android Studio could build your app as APK file for deploy to
 android store and Java SDK is for android to build APK file.
 </li>
 </ul>
 <li>Xamarin</li>
 <li>Xamarin Profiler</li>
 <li>Xamarin Workbooks Inspector</li>

<h5>
 If you developer are more familar with C#, visual studio and your app might
 want to consume as much as possible native API, then it might be good idea to
 use Xamarin because you can stay on C# and visual studio. However, if you're
 familar with Javascript and want to build hybrid app, create once deploy to
 everywhere, you don't have to access all the native API, you might want to
 try, <code>Phonegap</code>, <code>React Native</code>, <code>lonic</code>,
 React Native is use react.js, ionic is angular2, phonegap is just js, so you
 would use any javascript, they all use node.js backend for build process.
