.Net Standard vs PCL Xamarin Project

I want to learn Xamarin on VS 2017. I can't find the same project as I see in most of all tutorials or guides. I have ".Net Standard" project and not Portable Class Library project. (see images).

[What I need]

[what I have]

I have installed all components of vs2017 but I can't see it.

[installed components]

Why I can't see it? Are they the same?

(edit: the xamarin official site have 3 options, so I don't think they are)

xamarin site

Thanks

.NET Standard is the next evolution of Portable Class Libraries. Simply, they are PCLs but better. Choose a .NET Standard project and go through the tutorials as though you had used a PCL. When just starting out, you probably won't notice a difference until you start adding a lot of nuget packages.
