Appendix B. Further Reading
This book aims to get your feet wet with iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, but there is plenty more to explore for all of them. This section will provide some starting points for digging deeper into each of the platforms on its own. One thing to keep in mind for MonoTouch and Mono for Android is that resources written with the native languages in mind, Objective-C and Java, are still very useful even though you’re working in C# since the Mono products provide bindings to the native APIs. You’re still writing native applications so many of the same concepts and classes apply, regardless of the language.
