Abstract:
This book provides experienced .NET and C# developers with the knowledge necessary to become proficient, successful iPhone application developers without having to learn Objective-C, Cocoa, or Xcode. With a Foreword by the MonoTouch creators, this book covers several areas including MonoTouch and MonoDevelop, screen controls, meeting the iPhone UI guidelines, and Silverlight for the iPhone. The authors, one of whom wrote Wrox's immensely popular Wrox Blox, also delve into UI development, data controls, tables and layouts, maps and geolocation, and communication with other applications.
