Novell Mono Port Brings .NET to Android

"Novell develops the Mono framework, which is an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET. Novell had previously ported Mono to Apple iOS devices with MonoTouch and is now expanding the effort with Mono for Android. "Miguel de Icaza, VP, developer platforms at Novell noted that the majority of his team's development time was spent on creating a binding that allowed C# developers to consume the native Java APIs. Additionally, time was spent developing the tooling necessary to use Visual Studio on Windows and MonoDevelop on Mac to provide the end-to-end development pipeline."
