So I just started with Xamarin, are there any must see tutorials or must have tools?

I've already looked at MVVM cross ( thanks thread ) and it looks pretty good for WPF like application building.

Anything else that might be interesting?

If you're doing MvvmCross, look at the N+1 set of tutorials. They're a good introduction not only to MvvmCross, but also to basic Xamarin applications.

Well MVVM Cross looks like a good set of libraries to get an application going and the tutorials are wonderful. The guy himself does a good job of explaining everything. Thanks.

I've also read about Xamarin forms and I am wondering what the recommended architecture for apps across the various ecosystems are (MVVM, MVC, do as you please etc etc.).

Cool, I was hoping people would have good experiences with the tool.

I've been looking into MVVM Cross and MVVM Light and it looks like Light has nice features like Observable Collection adapters and navigation services while MVVM Cross has awesome tutorials.

So it feels like Cross is more barebones compared to light, is this about right?

I'll take another look, maybe it was an older post on Stackoverflow.
