After a month or 2, my talk from Xamarin Evolve is up!
Fast UI Creation with MonoTouch.Dialog
This talk covers the basics of UITableView-driven applications - which are most iOS applications - and how MonoTouch.Dialog can speed up the creation and maintenance of list- and form-based apps.
I cover what MT.D is, how to build lists and forms, and how to customise it to make it look less like a standard iOS app, and more like a polished work of art!

Looks like the slides that Xamarin posted lost the font info, so here a link to the original with the proper font[1]
There is a load - hours - of brilliant videos:
- Miguel talking about whats new in Xamarin.iOS
- David talking about Core Animation
- Stuart on MvvmCross
- Greg on Unit Testing
- Jon on barcode scanning and push notifications
I could pretty much link to all of them - the quality of all the talks was so ridiculously high. Most of them are relevant even if you are not using Xamarin tools.
My favourite[2] has to be Josh Clark's Buttons are a hack. I saw this first at webstock 2011, and again at NSConference Mini, but every time I hear Josh talk, I learn something. Highly recommended.
Oddly, the missing font is also the Xamarin logo / website font - Source Sans Pro, which I'm using everywhere on this site now. ↩︎
Ok, I'm a bit of a fanboy. I can deal with that. ↩︎
