Last week, I wrote A Beginner’s Guide to Deadlocks in Amazon RDS. This week, I’d like to lay out my 10 years of experience about how to avoid deadlocks altogether. Often times, this will be out of the hands of operations people, but you can still move for dev changes based on issues in production.

Xamarin is based on Mono, the open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Standard. It allows us to create apps that easily run in multiple devices like phones and smart watches. It solves the difficulties many developers face when they’re developing cross-platform apps like different coding languages and UI paradigms.
