Novell Bringing .Net Developers To Apple iPad

Posted by timothy on from the odd-confluence dept.

GMGruman writes "Paul Krill reports that Apple's new iPad could be easier to write apps for, thanks to Novell's MonoTouch development platform, which helps .Net developers create code for the iPad and fully comply with Apple's licensing requirements — without having to use Apple's preferred Objective-C. This news falls on the footsteps of news that Citrix will release an iPad app that lets users run Windows sessions on the iPad. These two developments bolster an argument that the iPad could eventually displace the netbook."

    So a Linux company is bringing Microsoft development to an Apple device? And it's STILL useless?

    it's a sibling to C++

    Oh, come on. Objective-C isn't perfect, but that is way too harsh.
