Visual C++ for Cross-Platform Mobile Development using Visual Studio 2015

In this video, Ankit Asthana shows you how to use Visual Studio 2015 to share, reuse,  build, deploy, and debug your cross-platform mobile C/C++ code, including how to: 

• Create projects from templates for Android Native Activity apps, or for shared code libraries that you can use on multiple platforms and in Xamarin hybrid apps. 
• Use platform-specific IntelliSense to explore APIs and generate correct code for Android or Windows targets. Configure your build for x86 or ARM native platforms.  
• Deploy your code to attached Android devices or use Microsoft's performant Android emulator for testing.  
• Set breakpoints, watch variables, view the stack and step through code in the Visual Studio debugger.  
• Share all but the most platform-specific code across multiple app platforms, and build them all with a single solution in Visual Studio.
