When you're a developer, staying up-to-date with the technologies, programming languages, developer tools, software practices, and application development platforms is crucial for your success. And while there is a lot of material for all the different platforms out there, it might be harder to find Xamarin blogs and content in general because it's not as widely adopted as other platforms.
That's why we've compiled a list of the top Xamarin online communities including Xamarin blogs, newsletters, podcasts, social media groups, and more, for you to stay up-to-date with all that's new in the world of Xamarin.
Please note that the communities listed below are only ones that are currently active. While there are many other groups, some of their content is outdated, which is why they weren't included.
