I have noticed that Xamarin appears to be quite a favoured topic for Articles, Blogs and Tips at the moment. I haven't used it, I have had a look at the website, sounds / looks good, but the question is: Is it really? Does it justify its price? Just curious.........
I looked into it and read a lot about it last fall... You still need to know how the platforms works, you still need to know how to make the different userinterfaces for android and IOS, and you need a mac in order to develop and debug IOS apps. I read about a lot of problems with debugging IOS apps, from the Xamarin IDE. I went with ADK (Eclipse) and Xcode and have never looked back. Objective-C kan be a bitch to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it's an okay language. Java is quite easy when you are used to C#.
