How to start learning C# on mac os?

Question

Mono

Good afternoon, please tell me how can I start learning C # with only Mac OS and Xamarin Studio available? All the literature that I find explains the actions and problems associated with Visual Studio, but for all known reasons we cannot use it, and the simplest examples in xamarin do not work, thanks in advance

Answer 1

I think there are only two options:
- Use BootCamp and install Windows / Visual Studio.
- Install Parallels/VMWare and run in a virtual machine

Answer 2

If we are talking about web programming, then https://code.visualstudio.com (instead of Xamarin Studio) + www.mono-project.com + nancyfx.org , which works fine under mono. If about developing applications for mobile devices, then figure out why Xamarin Studio does not work (there are no alternatives for the poppy).

Answer 3

All Xamarin platform and environment guides: developer.xamarin.com/guides/.
PS Xamarin works exactly the same as VS. Same debugger, Release/Debug modes, NuGet manager. The code is compiled to the same IL, executable files are also .exe. Everything you need to get started with development.
Even WPF projects in the latest version of Xamarin have appeared...

Answer 4

The C# language What is in Xamarin, what is in native Windows development in VS is the same, the differences are only in the platform-dependent part when implementing the interface. So you can safely learn pure C # and use this knowledge. What exactly was the difficulty?
All the Xamarin examples that I tried ran and worked on Mac + Xamarin Studio, on Windows + Visual Studio.
