I agree. Xamarin is closer than anybody else to a viable cross platform solution. They're in just the right place now to start eliminating some of the worst pain points in mobile.
- untog 14y agoAppcelerator ought to be as well (with the added bonus of using JS, far better known than C#), but their platform isn't on the same level. Yet?
- cageface 14y agoHaven't tried it myself but the reviews on the web seem to be almost universally bad whereas most Monotouch users seem to be pretty happy. I think for larger code bases C# has some important advantages over JS.
- untog 14y agoAbsolutely. I used Appcelerator a long time ago and it was awful- they've actually made a ton of progress since then, but they don't make fully native apps- there's a JS engine in the middle that parses the code. So it's always going to be a little slower than native- but probably acceptable for a ton of apps.
