Better Debugging with Mono for Android

Wallace B. McClure — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Let's be honest: When debugging with Android -- and Mono for Android (MfA) on Windows by extension -- using the emulator requires patience. This isn't a condemnation of Mono for Android; merely recognition of the reality of having to live within the Android ecosystem. I've noticed that most developers who develop on Android tend to be using a Mac. I think this is due to the development experience on the Mac being better overall for Android. Let's look at how this debugging has improved...

Review of ""Beginning iOS5 Application Development""

Wallace B. McClure — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

I was recently given the opportunity to review Wei Meng Lee's most recent edition of his beginning iOS programming series. This book is entitled "Beginning iOS5 Application Development." Admittedly, I know Wei Meng, so that may result in a little bit of bias.As a developer targeting the iPhone and iOS, I have found Wei-Meng's books and knowledge helpful to me as I write applications, articles,and expand my own personal knowledge of iOS. If you are anything but an expert developer...

iOS Development with MonoTouch Cookbook

Wallace B. McClure — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

I was recently given the opportunity to review Dimitris' iOS Development with MonoTouch Cookbook. My first thought on the book was "do we need another book in this niche?". I was the first to attack the niche with my book that came out in June, 2010. Since then, Mike Bluestein's book has shipped. Right after that Bryan Costanich's book shipped. My book was based on iOS 3. Mike and Bryan's books are based on iOS4. After reading this book, the answer...

The iPhone monoculture

This is getting frustrating.The official CSS WG blog:Discussed problem of WebKit monopoly on mobile and the consequent pressure for other engines to implement -webkit- properties. Zeldman:Webkit monoculture: threat or menace?Guys, stop it. This is simplistic us vs. them thinking. It’s not helpful.Now if you would say there’s an iPhone monoculture among web developers, you’d be right. But whose fault is that?Anyone who’s worried about “WebKit monoculture” should write or publish articles about mobile...

Wallace B. McClure — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

What book editing isn't better the second time around? Like a dog returns to his vomit and the fool to his folly, the author must return to his writing. And with the past week, my author team and I have finished our AR and Production Editing for Wrox's "Professional Android with Mono for Android and .NET/C#." We are literally 8 months from being AR and PE complete the first time around (I really hope that there isn't a third). And with the upload to my editor at...

MonoGame - Write Once, Play Everywhere

MSDN: Coding4Fun — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Our dev world is a big place (Cpt. Obvious here again...).

To take our C# development experience and use that when developing games for different platforms...MonoGame - Write Once, Play EverywhereWhat is MonoGame?MonoGame is a free OpenGL implementation of the XNA Framework for MonoTouch,...

My article on Creating a User Interface with Mono for Android
