.NET for Android
Good news for MonoDroid and MonoTouch developers. Good news for me. I would love to use C# to build all of my iPhone and Android apps. I have spent a lot of time learning and working with MonoTouch and MonoDroid.
In his blog, Migual talks about restructuring the company
and the development team. I asked him about the status of the products and he pointed out to his blog.
"Structurally, we are better off than we were the first time
that we built these products. We have more developers working on each product
than we did the first time around, so progress is faster. But we also had to
swap the developers around: those that wrote Foo, can not work on Foo again.
This is just one of the things that we have to do to ensure a clean room
implementation."
Migual also updated on the progress and it looks like work
is moving pretty fast.
"Our Android efforts are moving fast. Only this morning we
got Layouts to render on the device. This is a lot of work, as it gets Dalvik
to start Mono, and initializes our entire bridge and exercises the C# and Java
bridge. In addition, we have identified and fixed a serious problem in the
distributed garbage collector."
