Presentation on MonkeyFest

This year i didn’t had the change to go to Singapore for MonkeyFest but i still did a presentation via Skype : “What’s new on Xamarin.Forms”

Some of the most important points were related with the performance improvments like Fast Renderers and Layout Compression, you can check the slides and notes below.
