Guys, it's "Xamarin", not "Xamian". :p You are mixing Xamarin with Ximian (company founded by Miguel and bought by Novell). Although the Xamarin name was probably chosen because it sounded similar. "2) Attachmate open-sources the whole thing (if they're nice)" About this, it may be nice to users,

Open source GPL edition aside, open source community health aside, technical suitability aside, and Xamian busiess model aside, what about legal suitability for commercial Mono-based ISVs, and the customers of their products? Previously, Novell was an OIN member, and had some agreements with M

Sorry to hi-jack the thread, just a quick question.. Are the iOS and Android Mono Frameworks that Xamarin is creating a totally different code-base from MonoTouch and MonoDroid? What has become of the formerly Novell owned MonoTouch/Droid products? Are those just being scrapped completely? If t

Hi, For performance issues you should use a profiler and optimise as appropriate. This is the same procedure no matter what programming language you use. The odds are high that the issue is an algorithmic one and so the issue would be the same regardless of programming language. Secondly, instal
