Hi,

I am thinking about writing a book about Mono Mobile (Android and iOS).

Do you think there are many people who will be interested in it?

Targeting audience?
This will determine how and what to write.


What should be the content?

If targeting iOS and Android devs which want to use MD and/or VS then story is a little bit different.

I can speak from VS centric, .net developer with 2 students that I'm trying to teach something.

2 aspects content and order of content items.
Order of content items depends if one is going to target both (or even more) platforms in parallel. This is what I'm trying to do when teaching. Explain common-parallel stuff. This requires more time, but at the end You might have dev[s] able to target 3 mobile apps (including WP) and even more.

So:

1. Intro
    1. alternatives pros cons
        1. multitargeting
           (PhoneGap, SecnchaTouch etc)
        2. platform Objective-C Java
2. Dev environments
    1. OS
        1. scripting (Miguel's list of books)
           http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2011/Sep-06.html
        2. MacOSX for Windowz guys
    2. IDEs
        1. VS + plugins + tools
        2. MD
3. Patterns
    1. MVP, MVC, MVVM
4. .net vs mono
    1. I have problems knowing what is in mono implemented
       Venn diagram from set theory (found one for java stuff) with
        1. assemblies
        2. namespaces
        3. classes
    2. emphasize that Business Logic (POCO, business/domain objects)
       are up to 90-95% shared!!
       (My experience)
    3. Diffs
        1. example: WP only async methods while M* allow sync too
        2. Unhandled Exception handling
5. Platform stuff
    1. naming Widgets-Controls, Properties-Outlets etc...
    2. filesystem
        1. locations
           besides Envirnoment.* and IsolatedStorage
    3. settings-preferences
    4. UI stuff
       several chapters!
        1. simple widgets
        2. ListAdapters,
        3. lifetime, lifecycle
           ViewDidLoad, OnCreate,
    5. packaging
    6. deploying
