Hi<br />
<br />
I have been developing in ASP.net for around 6 years (VB.net). Do you think that Microsoft will ever <br />
make it possible to develop cross platform mobile apps without having to purchase Xamarin.<br />
At the moment I design responsive web apps for businesses and it would be nice to know that <br />
at some point a web app could be deployed as a cross platform mobile app.<br />
<br />
Thanks

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

Mobile web development, also known as responsive web design, is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing and interaction experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones). A site designed with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids, flexible images, and CSS3 media queries.
