DoneDone Monotouch iPhone App Screencast

A little background for the iPhone application...

DoneDone is a web app that manages issue tracking for projects. It's currently our choice bug tracking solution at work. Until a few months ago, the API they expose only allowed for the ability to add a new issue to a project. I went with this a decided to try and implement an app using the newly released Monotouch which allowed you to create a an issue on the iPhone device. In case you didn't know, Monotouch is a way of coding for the iPhone using C# instead of Objective-C*. Since I have experience in developing with C#, coding the app is pretty straight forward, unfortunately the complexities come in working out how to do things with the iPhone SDK (such as hiding a keyboard or displaying a label/text field cell). With this, I managed to create a rather simple DoneDone issue creator app. It's still in early stages and there's still a lot of debugging work to be done before I can get it up on the iPhone store but it's a good idea on how it's working at the moment. Any feedback would be great. Here's a screencast on the video;

 

 

If you want to keep up with what's happening with Monotouch - I've created a twitter list of people who are normally writing or doing screencasts on the subject. http://twitter.com/chrisntr/monotouch

* I would still recommend learning the basics of Objective-C since pretty much all samples online are in Objective-C and the official iPhone docs are in Objective-C too.   This website is a great Objective-C primer Cocoa Dev Central.

Hi,

This looks amazing.  I have just finishing my first app and would like to incorporate some of the features in your app such as the login screen and the "please wait" notification.  Are you planning on making the source code available?  If not would you mind sharing the lines of code which display the wait notification.

Thanks

@Aaron: Thanks for your comment. I'll be keep the source code closed at the moment but I'll do a blog post in a day or two which will be give a more technical overview on the app - highlighting tips on how to show loading screens, async methods and converting a UIImage to a ByteArray (for sending an image over a web service).

Cheers,

Hello Chris,

I am a beginner at starting with MonoTouch programming and i love it!

I love the way you made the DoneDone application and i want to make a program with the same functionality.

Can you please help me with how you made the "Create Issue" form?

Did you use Interface Builder and how did you make those nice textviews on the

tableview? Can you help me with some code or pseudo code?

Thanks in advance,

Danny

Making his way in the MonoTouch world.
