Hello iPhone

Since I bought MacBook Pro all I had in mind is to build an iPhone app, I knew it is not going to be easy (not impossible either).  I had two options to build an app, Objective-C with Cocoa touch or MonoTouch.

Being a C Sharp developer the choice was obvious MonoTouch, but soon after I started using it, I felt that it is not way to go I mean MonoTouch is great simple to use and just feels homely, the point I want make here is that before using it have understanding how an iPhone app works read programming guides and at least use objective-c and XCode for initial learning for about week or two it really helps understanding iPhone app architecture and most libraries. Later it’s an easy ride with MonoTouch and C#.  (I found this link in Stackoverflow.com, which one to choose MonoTouch or CocoaTouch)

My first app was “Hello iPhone” (following tradition here), but I have uploaded DirnkMixture app an example from the “Head First iPhone Development” book but developed in Mono.
