6:30 PM - Mobile "i" for the .NET Guy - Alex Hung

Abstract:
Are you a .NET developer with an iPhone? Do you have a great idea for an iPhone application but are afraid of Justin Long and the cult of Mac? As a .NET developer since 2004 and Mac user since 2002, I will show you what is required to start developing for the iPhone platform: the hardware, and the software. I will recount the joy and the pain I came across, compare and contrast Xcode/Objective-C against Visual Studio/C#. And we can discuss why it is a good idea to dip your toes into mobile development.
