Building enterprise applications across platforms can get laborious and
incredibly technical. Now, rather than reinventing the wheel with each
app on each platform, Microsoft's .NET framework, in combination with
Xamarin’s MonoTouch, Mono for Android and the MonoCross open source
framework , presents a compelling platform for enterprise development.
This platform allows developers to create mobile applications, while
delivering the same functionality to PC's, laptops and the Web from a
single technology platform and code-base. New from Wrox Press, an
imprint of Wiley, Professional Cross-Platform Mobile Development in C#
(Wiley, 978-1-1181-5770-1) helps guide developers in creating mobile
enterprise applications using C#/.NET.
Mobile devices like the iPhone, iPad, and Android based smartphones and
tablets are having an incredible impact on the corporate computing
landscape, and the Microsoft .NET framework enterprise development
technology can address many of the created challenges. Inside
Professional Cross-Platform Mobile Development in C#, a team of authors
draws on their vast experiences to teach readers how to create
cross-platform mobile applications with a common set of tools – no new
languages needed. Coverage includes:
-
An overview of the change in enterprise mobile app use & what it means
for developers
-
How to evaluate and select the best option for application architecture
-
Tools and techniques for setting up a cross-platform development
environment
-
User interface design and user experience prototyping tools and
techniques for mobile applications
-
An introduction to the MonoCross open-source project and pattern for
cross-platform development

practices, code examples and sample applications, Professional
Cross-Platform Mobile Development in C#, is a must-have book for
enterprise developers that need to get started developing cross-platform
mobile apps. Professional Cross-Platform Mobile Development in C# is now
