Getting started with MonoTouch

MonoTouch is a new framework from Novell for creating iPhone applications using C#.  Since some of the concepts of developing for the iPhone platform will be foreign to the .NET developer, I thought it would be a good idea to create a screencast that eased them into the process.  Since a lot of .NET devs will be new to the Mac, I have tried to make as few assumptions as possible with regards to the your comfort level and proficiency with Mac OS X.

In this screencast, I will walk you through installing Mono (the open source cross platform .NET implementation), MonoDevelop (an IDE), and MonoTouch.  Once everything is installed, we will develop a "Hello iPhone" application.  Throughout the process of developing this application I will introduce you to core concepts of MonoTouch as well as familiarize you with Interface Builder (Apple's tool for creating iPhone interfaces).

I hope this screencast helps get you up and running creating awesome iPhone applications using C#!

If this screencast helped you, consider "touching" is to promote it at MonoTouch.info by clicking the "Touch it" button below and "kicking" it to promote it at DotNetKicks.

That was the best tutorial I have seen concerning IB. Very informative and easy to follow. At least I finally feel like I know enough to be a little dangerous! Thanks. Hope there are lots more coming!
