I am new to xamarin.forms, I am developing a multiple page app(Android, iOS, windows) that has a common design on most of the pages.
The .net framework has masterpage concept, is it available in Xamarin.forms as well?
Also whats the best coding style for Xamarin.forms? I have read it should be MVVM architecure. I have never used MVVM architecture. So if possible can anyone help me understanding MVVM in Xamarin.forms.

MVVM is a Microsoft pattern that you can see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93viewmodel or google away.
Xamarin Forms XAML however isn't exactly like WPF XAML so be aware differences will occur.
This is a blog post that goes through an MVVM pattern Xamarin Forms app, using MVVM Light. http://www.xamarinhelp.com/14-days-to-building-an-enterprise-quality-xamarin-forms-app/
Its a huge topic but it will point you in the right direction. Then any further questions asked can be a little more specific as this question is a bit too broad.
