Xamarin.Forms
Xamarin.Forms is a cross-platform UI toolkit that allows developers to create native user interface layouts that can be shared across iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. Xamarin.Forms uses a single shared codebase, which means that developers can create a single UI for all platforms. Xamarin.Forms also supports data binding, which allows developers to easily bind their application logic to the UI.
Example:
In Xamarin.Forms, a developer can create a single UI for all platforms using the XAML markup language. This UI can then be bound to application logic written in C#, allowing the UI to be updated when the application logic changes.
Xamarin Native
Xamarin Native is a platform that allows developers to create native applications for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone using C# and the .NET framework. Xamarin Native applications are written in native code, which means that developers can take advantage of platform-specific APIs and features. Xamarin Native also supports data binding, which allows developers to easily bind their application logic to the UI.
Example:
In Xamarin Native, a developer can create a native application for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone using C# and the .NET framework. This application can then be bound to application logic written in C#, allowing the UI to be updated when the application logic changes. Additionally, developers can take advantage of platform-specific APIs and features, such as the iOS MapKit and Android Location Services.
