Local Storage

This week we will learn about different ways to store data onto the user's device. We'll use a SQLite database, a way that's built into Xamarin.Forms and possibly just writing a file to disk. Along the way, we'll also learn a little about the Xamarin Component Store.

Please zip and turn in the projects we worked on together in class:

• WebServiceAndDatabaseDemo_PCL
