VS Community 2013 Installation Configuration Xamarin

Recently the company to do projects, let learning about the VS platform under the C # (HTML5 and JS) development of mobile phone use. Learn that Xamarin is a platform tool for developing, managing, and testing mobile apps in the C # language. Has not been contacted before the development of mobile phone use, so the whole process is 0 start. And because of my work, I've been working on C # Development, so I'm more familiar with the VS environment, and I'm planning to install Xamarin under vs. Here is a brief description of my installation of Xamarin (temporary Android).

Note:a. Considering that the Android SDK version will affect Xamarin open. axml file, it is recommended to install Reversion23.0.2;

B.NDK and GTK are downloaded and placed directly into the directory;

C. A lot of teaching materials on the internet I will not token, and later essays are similar;

D. If the Android SDK and SDK directory files are not clear, it is recommended to find some information online, http://www.cnblogs.com/Soprano/articles/2559332.html;

2, the above are installed and configured, on the installation of Xamarin, official online can be registered after direct download. When installed, open vs, select Tools-options, choose Xamarin, and configure the SDK and NDK installation paths;

3, re-open vs, if the above installation is completed successfully, it is estimated to start the development of this step.
