		cubano on March 31, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Xamarin now free in Visual Studio, and Xamarin SDK... What I've found lately is that almost all the docs and examples for the various "hybrid" mobile platforms are out-of-date or flat-out don't work. My guess it's just that things are moving so damn fast in that space that it's impossible to keep up with the churn.

I agree with you about the documentation not being very useful, but Xamarin isn't what's usually referred to as "hybrid". It's fully native code, no webviews needed.

So with that logic, Telerik's Nativescript can be called "fully native code" as well? Or Appcelerator's Titanium?

Sorry I just don't see it like that.
