	Sharpnado.Presentation.Forms

Latest version of Sharpnado.Presentation.Forms (v1.7.1) doesn't have all the sharpnado nugets up to date.

The preferred way of using packages is now to install only the one needed individually.

MUST READ: Big refactoring ?

The big sharpnado refactoring is over.

Each sharpnado's component has now its own repo.

• Sharpnado.Tabs have now their own repo
• Sharpnado.HorizontalListView have now its own repo
• The Sharpnado.Presentation.Forms repo is now only a Home page for all the Sharpnado's component.

Latest version of Sharpnado.Presentation.Forms (v1.7.1) doesn't have all the sharpnado nugets up to date.

Version 1.8 will include latest components and won't require initialization code.

Preferred way of using packages is now to install only the one needed.

Sample App: the Silly! app

All the following components are presented in the Silly! app in the following repository:

If you want to know how to use the components, it's the best place to start.
