In one of my previous articles I talked about how MonoGame could be used with portable libraries, this was off the back of some work I was doing with the MonoGame team to help with some of the more tedious clean up tasks that needed doing and I had the time.
Back then it was more of a dream, today it's becoming a reality.
Note:
At the time of writing it seems that Microsoft has not implemented PCL support from the Visual Studio Express editions as they are aimed at single platform support only, if you don't have access to a PRO edition or above, then I recommend you use XAMARIN studio for now.

So with this tutorial I'll walk you through the practice of what it takes to go portable and what it can do for you.
