.NET Mobile Device Development

What tools are needed for .net mobile device development and where can I find some really good tutorials?

I'm thinking Xamarin, since it's write once, and C#. Does it also allow VB.NET?

Thanks!

yes, I can program in C#, but I have a lot of libraries in vb.net so wondered.

Also, what I want to do is have the mobile device allow users to send to and retrieve from a database. I imagine I'll be using web services to send some value back to indicate what data to retrieve, then send the data back to the mobile device. But there would be no database on the phone.

I was going to host a database on a web server, but what do folks use nowadays for data hosting for mobile devices?

And is that how they get the data to and from? Using a web service to contact a web server?
