title: Xamarin and Raspberry Pi
body: <p>I about to start learning Xamarin for the first time and was hoping I could be pointed in the right direction. Currently I can write ASP.Net MVC 5 applications. I'm interested in communicating with a Raspberry Pi for IOS and Android devices and from what I read online, the Mono Framework is the best approach for this. Please correct me if I'm wrong. </p>
  
  <p>My question is if I can use Xamarin Forms as opposed to Xamarin Native UI and if Mono Framework is something I can implement with Xamarin Forms or is it a completely separate thing I need to do instead Xamarin Forms. I hope this isn't too confusing, but I'm just trying to understand what works with what so that I can create a roadmap for myself.</p>
