Creating apps for Phones

[Statharas]

There are a lot of options when it comes to building apps for mobile phones. I've found a common base for building such apps, C#.

C# is nice, but what OS are you developing for?

I've done a bit of android development and I used Java.
I don't own an iPhone or blackberry so ..

Currently aiming Android 4.2 and Windows Phone 8

Not sure if I should use XAML or raw C# though.

I've used Moai, it's pretty neat (Lua).

I'm not entirely sure XAML works with Android, but if it does, then it's nice I think C#+XAML is pretty much well-optimized for mobile application development (as long as you are not trying to make something immensely resource-dependant thing), and one thing is sure - it's 999x better than the ADT Not to mention C#/.NET is way more potent and complete than the Java Android uses.

The question is if the compiler is good enough, since Google doesn't support C# for Android afaik.

 

[Statharas]

Well, Microsoft supports Xamarin which can compile C# for both Android and iOS, long story. If XAML is usable right now by all 3 major devices, then it will become the standard app programming language.

There is also a program used to convert C# to iphone apps.

Coding stuff in Xamarin in C# allows you to export things everywhere, mate
