Sample code for the 2nd Preview Edition of "Creating Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Forms"

As of March 23, 2015, all projects have been upgraded to Xamarin.Forms 1.4.0

There's a little difference between the version of TextVariations here and the one in the PDF version of Chapter 7. Beginning with version 1.3.3, there is no longer a distinction between text as the content of the Label tags and text as content of the Label.Text tags. In both cases, whitespace at the beginning and end of the text block is trimmed.

When specifying a local namespace declaration in XAML, it is no longer necessary to include the assembly name. You can include it if you want, but it's been removed from the ColorListView program in Chapter 8, SharedStatics in Chapter 10, and StackedBitmap in Chapter 13.
