I will show you how you can program for different platforms while sharing up to 80% of code across the different platforms. I will show you architectural patterns and tips and tricks in C# to abstract device dependencies and increasing your shared codebase. This session is for you if you want to know how you can leverage your existing investments in the .NET platform and C# language.
