Xamarian or Cordova

Question

Anyone who has worked on both platforms - Xamarian or Cordova - Can you please answer which is better - in terms of performance and targeting multi-platform especially Apple? Which is easy to learn? Which one I should learn as a new skill? Thanks in advance. Nilesh

Hello Nilesh..I think Xamarin is better than cordova and also pretty awesome. However the licensing can be pricey if you need to use Visual Studio ($83/month per developer per platform). The latest version of Visual Studio does also support Cordova and they make it pretty simple to develop ( Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova ) Overall I would recommend Xamarin if cost is not an issue as it's simply so much more powerful then Cordova HTML 5 based apps. You will also be able to reuse C# logic/business code from your ASP. NET projects.For more information please follow this links: 1) https://www.quora.com/Which-one-is-better-Xamarin-or-Apache-Cordova 2) https://www.clarity-ventures.com/resources/xamarin/xamarin-vs-titanium-vs-phonegap-vs-cordova-a-comparison

Both have its pros.an cons But given my choice I Will go.to the xamarine as it is.native an not a js based platform Remember xamarine is a native an Cordova needs another engine to convert it's code.to the droid or ios specific So there will be always potential performance issues with the Cordova Personally I will go with xamarine as I don't need to go for scripting language an everything will.be managed in c# Jus for reference go.through this once https://www.quora.com/Which-one-is-better-Xamarin-or-Apache-Cordova
