* Foreword by the creators of MonoTouch, who have also reviewed this book.
Thousands of C# developers want to create Apps for the iPhone platform, but they've been deterred by the need to learn Apple's entirely different language and development toolset. MonoTouch solves this problem, enabling C# developers to leverage their existing skills and .NET tools to create Apps that can be sold in Apple's App Store. In Learning MonoTouch , Mike Bluestein shows C# developers how to get started fast with MonoTouch - and how to make the most of it. Bluestein begins with the absolute basics of building applications for the iPhone under MonoTouch. He assumes readers are familiar with C# and .NET, and focuses on the iPhone-specific information they need most. Early on, simple examples help developers get up and running rapidly, and establish a firm foundation for more complex concepts. As developers build their skills, Bluestein introduces increasingly sophisticated techniques through a practical application that addresses commonly encountered enterprise use cases.
