A cool feature of the Fusonic EventGuide application is the ability to star your favourite events/gigs. All starred gigs are not only available on your personal running-order, you will also get a notification shortly before the event starts so that you don’t miss your favourite bands.

Because of my C# .NET/Mono experience and love it was obvious to reuse skills and libraries and so we bought a licence of MonoTouch.

Although programming against the Monotouch APIs using monodevelop was a real joy and really straight forward, you will come over some problems or nasty bugs from time to time. The goal of my blog series is to summarize my experiences in the last two weeks, show you up some common pitfalls and tell you some tips + tricks and useful libraries I used for our product.
