Unlike Android where you can get an Android emulator to run on a PC, you must have a Mac of some sort to run the iOS emulator on. Development can be done either on a PC or on the Mac itself - Parallels works very well in this respect. Setting up an iOS project is very similar to an Android project. Both are contained within the same Visual Studio project and you can just select which one you want to use. However, because we are developing on a PC and deploying to a Mac, we need to (...)

…Interface Builder brought memories back of wiring up Visual Basic controls and suffering through Visual Studio crashes. I left that world years ago, and I don't want to look back.
Avoiding Xcode means that we had to wire up the interface all in code. Our hybrid web/native approach helped with this, since there isn't that much native UI to hook up. Luckily, iOS6 added a new API to make this easier: Auto Layout . Using Auto Layout is almost like laying out interface …

Amethyst 2 supports Android mobile and tablet devices. The Visual Studio platform deployment mechanism works well with both emulators and real devices. First, create a new mobile project Next select the device platform Here, you can select the Android SDK path and key store files to use in the project. You can also save these as defaults.

…(e.g. Mac OSX with XCode , or Windows with Visual Studio ), then download the SDK for your platform and follow the corresponding Getting Started Guide . You will benefit from a more integrated experience and faster device emulation.
Note for IOS: an Apple Developer License will be required if you want to deploy the app to your device (otherwise you will only be able to use the emulator).
If you have limited overall experience, starting out with the Android platform …

Wow, that's clunky. Even with XCode's autocomplete feature (the analogue of Visual Studio's Intellisense), it's still a lot of typing for something as simple as array element access.
Initializing NSArray and Accessing Its Elements the New Way
With the latest version of Objective-C, we have NSArray literals. Here's how you'd initialize the starkFamily array using an NSArray literal: NSArray *starkFamily = @[ @"Eddard", @"Catelin", …

…announced the date for this event before Apple announced the date for theirs. Still, the Visual Studio 2012 Virtual Launch is an online event (not counting the "studio audience") and could've easily been moved. I suppose that Microsoft weighed their options and thought "either we move the event and tacitly admit that Apple is now controlling our schedule or we keep the date and hope that our audience cares more about developer tools than the new iPhone and iOS and prefer …

• High Performance: It's multi-CPU and multi-core SMP ready
• High Scalability: It supports databases up to 20TB in size
What's It Good For?
Well, to say the least, Firebird is suitable for just about anything that most of the other databases are. Now no, it doesn't have exactly the same feature set, but if you look at this rather detailed comparison you'll get a good idea of how they all …

Shortcut Foo - Drills to learn keyboard shortcuts for Vim, Emacs, ST2, TextMate, Visual Studio and more.
json_expressions - Test harness for JSON responses that works by providing a pattern to match. Looks useful.

Is it punchcards? Remote terminals? Emacs? Textmate? Eclipse? Visual Studio? C? Ruby? JavaScript? In the 1920s, it was considered important to learn how to use slide rules. In the 1960s, it was considered important to learn mechanical drawing. None of that matters today. I'm hesitant to recommend any particular approach to coding other than the fundamentals as outlined in Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software , because I'm not sure we'll even …
