Anywhere2Go was a project that I merely just stumbled upon. I had just start learning C# in the .NET Framework and I come across Xamarin which, for those that don’t know, is part of the .NET framework that uses XAML to create mobile apps. So as part of my journey into the world of .NET I just started testing some things, how to make an API call etc. This progressed in me learning bit by bit until I thought actually I could probably build something with this Framework already.

So, using the Google Place API, I created an app where the user you could select their location and what category of place they want to visit and how far they’re willing to travel. I sent this request to the Google Place API and out of the results it returned, I would select a place at random and return that one back to the user.

I managed to release this app onto the app store where it ended up getting over 100 downloads!
