I have a team of developers that binds the most popular Android and iOS libraries. We bind the libraries that our users request. If you have some of those that you would like us to do, we would love to help you. Anything to remove the f

Xamarin is really focused on mobile development, and in particular a large chunk of our effort is into making C# and F# great languages on both Android and iOS. Our Forms API is a cross-mobile API to create UIs, part of a family of cross-pl

If you have a chance, ask your friends to send us their feedback. We are working non-stop on the product, but it always helps when real users share their stories with developers, otherwise we fall back into just looking at our internal ta

Yes Instructions are included in the MonoDevelop repository, and they could not be simpler: https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/blob/master/README.md

Joe is correct, the code was always owned by Ximian. And we did require copyright assignment or relicensing rights from the start to support a dual-licensing business. It was the One Blessed Business Model endorsed by Richard Stallman at

Nat and myself knew each other for a couple of years before that. It is only that we first met in person for the first time when he was an intern, and I was interview for a position on the IE team at the time. We are joining a new Microso

It does not include Moonlight, we do not have the rights to relicense that. The rights for Moonlight stayed at Novell.

Mono was always designed to be dual-licensed, because we needed a way of monetizing the investment. Because of this, the LGPL and GPL portions of the code required either copyright assignments, relicensing rights, or the contribution to be

Correct, there are many areas where we can converge, and we have been working on that for the last year and a half.

I am personally a fan of Calca, not only does it do live coding, it can also do some powerful math: http://calca.io/

Thank you for the kind words and the perspective. Luckily, we will be joining a new Microsoft (pending regulatory approval), one lead by Satya which has a different vision for the company. We are excited about what this means for Xamarin&

Hello, Changing the name is a necessity if you want to have a good looking program. Consider an API like "drawString:" and "drawString:atPoint:" and "drawString:atPoint:withFont:". These are acceptable in the

We are working on replacing those parts that we can. But there are several issues: * reference source code not being portable and not working on Unix. * complex dependencies between the portable and non portable pieces * some bits were only

It is a shame that this got submitted before we actually published the code. It is Easter and many of our engineers are taking these days off. The release notes are also incomplete and not ready for publishing Miguel

Not really. The echo chamber is only an issue if you isolate everything . But given the hundreds of thousands of disparate communities, blocking one or two, or even dozens of groups does not amount to much towards creating an echo chambe

Microsoft's focus on this release is the server. Mono plans on contributing to the effort our cross platform changes to Mono, to make .NET work great on Unix. Details here: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2014

I'll add it to the FAQ, but a variation is already there: You should be able to make this work on any platform where Mono and Unreal Engine work together.

Small clarification. It is faster than the old Mono they ship. Their Mono is at best Mono 2.10, about three years old, without any of our optimization work for three years, very notably, a lot of the LLVM support, or the new garbage colle

Apologies, I have clarified this. It works, we just do not provide any code templates yet.

This is the bug report you provided: Nice updates to Xamarin Studio. Too bad they can't fix that pesky "indenting pukes on itself" or "lines disappearing in the editor". And all I did was ask you for inform

You can mix and match. The transition depends on whether you use MTD just as a consumer, or whether you subclass it extensively (like I used to do on TweetStation). The former is easy, the latter not.

Once we charge you, you would expect the same level of support that we provide users on other platforms. And The Linux desktop is just too fragmented for us to be able to do this and deliver the support you need.

That assumes that we want to spend our time tracking down infringers (hard to do) and litigating (slow and expensive)

We support a number of layout managers that allow you to create responsive UIs. This is very important on Android since there is really no single form factor/screen resolution to target. You really need to build UIs that work on vari

Our implementation is too tightly coupled to the Intel SIMD approach, while this approach works for SIMD implementation on other CPU architectures. Mono.SIMD has a few extra features that are missing from the current design, but they are no
