Add NuGets To All Projects In Xamarin Studio with 1 Click

I simply love Matt Ward [https://twitter.com/lastexitcode], a wonderful developer who works on NuGet inside of Xamarin Studio. He is always blogging about all of the recent updates to NuGet in XS, so be sure to follow his blog [http://lastexitcode.com/]. Matt does so much more though including an awesome add-in for Xamarin Studio to add some awesome new features when using Xamarin Studio.

More Plugins for Xamarin: Vibrate, Device Info, Connectivity, & Battery

Over the last month I have had one large goal; to create a plethora of Plugins for Xamarin [http://motzcod.es/post/104507063997/what-exactly-is-a-plugin-for-xamarin].

Xamarin Studio + NuGet PCL Support!

From @SharpDevelop [http://twitter.com/sharpdevelop] comes a long awaited update to the Xamarin Studio NuGet Manager Plugin [https://github.com/mrward/monodevelop-nuget-addin].

NuGets Everywhere! VS or XS!

Alright so a quick follow up to that huge blog I just wrote about PCLs. So PCLs are great for your core, but are also great because you can share PCLs with people and they will work everywhere. On Visual Studio there is a great Nuget Package Manager [http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/27077b70-9dad-4c64-adcf-c7cf6bc9970c] already that you can grab and install. If you are using Xamarin Studio you have a pretty great option as well with THIS Addin [https://github.com/mrward/monodevelop…
