Mobile Development with C#: Building Native iOS, Android, and Windows Phone Applications Review: Great Primer on Mono! - This is a very succinct yet comprehensive overview of the Mono Platform using MonoTouch and Mono for Android. It's a short read, so every member of your team that writes code should read it. There is a caveat here that the author really doesn't highlight, but I believe is necessary for anyone wanting to be effective in writing truly native cross-platform apps: Mono is not a substitute for not knowing the iOS or Android APIs. This book does a fair job in explaining surface details about common elements of iOS and Android (and to some extent Windows Phone 7), but does not go into any great detail for any individual platform (this is not a criticism of the book...just keep this in mind when you set your expectations). What this book does extremely well is get you up and running with Mono. That's really all you need to know. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in creating cross-platform apps and other software. Just know that you MUST know the iOS and Android platforms to derive the maximum benefit. This book is perfect or those lucky (or unlucky) few who write native apps in iOS AND Android, and are looking for a great way to DRY and still run truly native. There's plenty of room and material for a second edition, so keep'em coming! Review: Good for beginners - This book is a good beginners book. However, keep in mind that much of the books contents is slightly outdated by now and some of the code samples will need to be adjusted. Nevertheless, I found that all topics in the book were described in enough depth for someone to reproduce in their own app. If you are already have experience with mobile app development in C# and Xamarin, this book may not be for you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (14) | | Dimensions | 7 x 0.37 x 9.19 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1449320236 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1449320232 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 170 pages | | Publication date | June 19, 2012 | | Publisher | O'Reilly Media | ## Images ![Mobile Development with C#: Building Native iOS, Android, and Windows Phone Applications - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91rZZL2S+4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Primer on Mono! *by S***H on May 24, 2012* This is a very succinct yet comprehensive overview of the Mono Platform using MonoTouch and Mono for Android.

However, keep in mind that much of the books contents is slightly outdated by now and some of the code samples will need to be adjusted. Nevertheless, I found that all topics in the book were described in enough depth for someone to reproduce in their own app. If you are already have experience with mobile app development in C# and Xamarin, this book may not be for you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Little book *by K***S on December 28, 2012* The author doesn't try to cover too much background in this book, which is a good thing. Books on cross-platform development are still few and far between. This one does a good job of getting the reader up to speed with ease, citing references for background reading instead of putting a lot of filler on background of .Net, etc.. The amount of background material is just enough. Get this book if you are doing any mobile development with C#/mono and the Xamarin products. It has a good yet simple explanation of how to create abstractions of various things an application needs to do and then flesh out those abstractions with platform-specific pieces when working with one phone versus another. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1704047-mobile-development-with-c-building-native-ios-android-and-windows](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1704047-mobile-development-with-c-building-native-ios-android-and-windows) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
