What Book on MonoTouch should I buy

Question

I intend to do a little programming using mono touch.. but need a book [eBook, since searchable, preferred] that gets me started.

This pagehttp://monotouch.info/MonoTouch/Books has some recomendations, which title should I get.

Answer 1

AFAIK, there is only one book specifically about MonoTouch that is currently available, and one more to be released later this year. That should make it simple to choose.

Wrox also has a short e-book available, but it is essentially a sample from the same guys who wrote the full-length book.

Answer 2

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=monotouch&x=0&y=0

the most recent and probably the best is the wbm et al tho

Answer 3

I can also recommend "Professional iPhone Programming with MonoTouch and .NET/C#" by Wrox. I have read it from front to back and it covers all you'll need to know. It will start you off with the basics and get into advanced stuff by the end. You can jump around to any topic you want and go at your own pace.

It covers all of the stuff you will need to know, usually a chapter dedicated to each topic:

• User Interface
• Data
• Web Services
• Maps
• Multimedia
• loads more

What's more, the authors are all active members of the MonoTouch community and can all be contacted via blogs, twitter and the MonoTouch IRC channel, so you can always reach out to them directly.
