If you are a .NET programmer then i have got a great news for you. If you are an Android fan and want to make an app for it using your .NET skills then you would be happy to know that there is a company named Novell who in the past has helped the .Net programmers to make apps for iPhone, iPod Touch and now iPad using MonoTouch. MonoTouch allows you to create C# and .NET applications for the platform with .NET bindings for iPhone APIs. It integrates with XCode, so .NET developers can easily work on creating their apps for the iPhone. Now the good news is that the company is planning to launch the same thing for Android’s SDK and would call it MonoDroid.
This was confirmed by Miguel de Icaza who works for Novell, on his blog:
Here is what he wrote
“But we have also just started an effort to ship MonoDroid: Mono for the Android platform. This will include a comprehensive binding to the Java APIs, but accessible through the JIT-compiled, 335-powered runtime engine.
Our vision is to allow developers to reuse their engine and business logic code across all mobile platforms and swapping out the user interface code for a platform-specific API. MonoTouch for iPhone devices and the Monodroid APIs for Android devices.”
After the launch of this we would see a lot of stunning apps coming to the Android platform and will allow more developers to engage in the Android app development.
