Fortunately, there's MonoTouch, Novell's .NET library that allows C# developers to write C# code that executes in iOS. Furthermore, MonoTouch allows you to address all the unique functions of the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. And the big plus: You needn't learn any Objective-C to master MonoTouch!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Former Microsoft engineer and published app-store developer \u003cstrong\u003eBryan Costanich\u003c\/strong\u003e shows you how to use the tools you already know to create native apps in iOS using C# and the .NET Base Class Libraries. The magic is in Novell's implementation of Apple's Cocoa libraries in MonoTouch. You'll master the same elegant and rich Cocoa environment, but without the need to learn a new programming language. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003cem\u003eDeveloping C# Applications for iPhone and iPad using MonoTouch \u003c\/em\u003etakes you from your first \"Hello, World\" example through the major APIs and features of iOS.
