Speaking Of iSomethings...

[Kevin Marois]

I just got my first iPad today. I code in Microsoft Visual Studio, use Microsoft SQL Server, own a Microsoft Windows Phone, have Microsoft Windows Server on my server, and run Microsoft Windows on my PC's and laptops. So getting an iPad is a whole new experience for me. I want to write apps. I'm a C# guy. What are the tools I need to write apps for my shiny new iPad? Thanks

You need a Mac if you want to write native for iFads.

You may want to consider Xamarin[^]. /ravi

You really need a Mac. XCode (the mac equiv. of VS) is free. And you need to pay about $100 per annum to Apple to actually run the software on your device, but you can run on the included simulator for nothing.

Well due to my horrible experience at Macs --- iMac = Intricate Machine Accustomed to Complications iPhone = Intricate Phone Having Nonsense Errors and so is all iStuff = intricate stuff

A pair of white earbuds, and a paranoid urge to have people think you're cool.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I saw an ad for a C# developer the other day. The company provides you your very own MacBook. Underneath it, it said you can only install Microsoft software, if you really must.

I have 11 ios apps in the store using MonoTouch. Definately good for a C# person.

That's awesome! :thumbsup: I seriously considered Xamarin for Android for a couple of years, before deciding to go native (i.e. Java).  I'm not a fan of Eclipse, but Xamarin Studio threw me off and the price of the software is out of my budget.  I'm hoping the new Android Studio will evolve into a stable and easy-to-use IDE. /ravi
