“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.”
