I've been messing around with Monotouch to develop an IPhone App. So far so good. I love it!
I want to be able to use AWS to update the content of my App. Problem is that I can't seem to find any example on how to call AWS from Monotouch. I've looked into Servicestack a bit and looked for using WCF in Monotouch but I'm still confused and don't know where to start.
Could anyone give me some directions on what technologies I should use to do this?
Should I try something other than AWS? Should I use the iOS or the .NET version of the AWS sdk?
Thanx!

As the title goes, I need to connect a Xamarin built application to a SQLITE database stored inside a Amazon EC2 that is hosting a web app.
Now I agree not the most robust of set ups but i'm aware it can be done using RESTful API to build a web service and ideally host on Tomcat. But i can't find out how. Totally new to APIs.
That's all I need really. I've been down most avenues of Google and Xamarin support docs. But I really need someone to point me in the right direction as im seeing alot of broken links for Xamarin docs that revert me to Microsofts site. Or help find an example, anything would be heavily appreciated. I can only offer that if you answer my question you will make someones day and I will post a cute picture of a hamster.
Thanks!
I want to know basic difference between Cascades, Core and WebWorks apps. Can WebWorks-based apps interact with device apps? Or they can simply run on web end? Please somebody clear it for me.
Thanks in advance.
I'm no expert, but in short
WebWorks - it is web based, but you can use some core APIs. Take a look here. I'm not sure, but if I remember correctly you can even write your own libraries in core, to access more
Cascades - it's front-end (QML part) and back-end (QT). It has a lot more access to core then WebWorks. Very simple to make good looking apps, and good functionality
Core - I think it's mostly used for games, and app ports, but has big access to system functions.
i am supposed to work on Game Development for that i am looking for SFS (SmartFoxServer) which can be used in conjunction with Cocos2d framework, can any one please tell how i have to connect to the SFS.
There is an iPhone API for SmartFox server. The rest is up to you. Here you can download some iOS samples and here are the explanations.
Im new to the development of apps and i've got some questions.
First let me tell you about the app i need to make.
As an intern at a company i need to develop an iPhone and Android app, they want me to create an app that is based on a existing CRM database.
I need to get data from the database and show it on the iPhone, this data should be edited and send back to the database.
The company itself does not has experience in the development of mobile apps.
EDIT:
The requirements i wrote above are the basic of the application, it will have alot more functionality implemented after the basic has been made. Something like an auto sync, either the database or phone will sync with each other once in a while. And when you are called on the phone it will also check the number in the database and if found the name is displayed instead of an unknow number. Just 2 things that should be implemented after the basic app
Is such a thing possible with an iPhone/Android?
As i have no experience with Objective-C, and little experience with java
Is it easy to learn, i have good knowledge of C#
What platform could you suggest for me?
As i need to develop for both iPhone and Android,
What is the quickest way of developing for both at the same time?
i've done research but as i do not have an mac at the moment i can't try stuff out for the iPhone.
Titanium Appcelerator is something i liked, and since this works for both iPhone and Android i think this might be a good option. But as i do not have any experience i want some good advice from those who have experience before i start programming.
tnx in advance,

You can also try PhoneGap.
You can use web services to connect to databases
As per your requirements, use Titanium Appcelarator, which will make you write your code in JavaScript, and will generate apps for both, iPhone and Android.
What you're wanting it to do is fairly simple and shouldn't introduce a lot of complexity before you.
Go ahead with Appcelerator, if you don't want to spend a lot of time learning Android SDK and Objectiv-C
It sure is possible to access/change databases.
If you have good C# knowledge then getting started with Java should not be an issue for you.
I think it should be quite easy to implement for Android, but I also have no experience in iOS development (don´t have a mac)
Is there a good tutorial available to use MGTwitterEngine on the Iphone?
