hi there!
i'm new to ios development. in the past i just developed desktop applications using windows forms.
reading the tutorials and guides i figured out that there are multiple ways to create an ios application.
using xib and create static ui (adding viewcontrollers link the views manually in code or use storyboard designer)
create the ui using c# only (what i don't get: do i really have to place the controls by defining pixel-oriented frames?? what about different resolutions?)
create the ui using monotouch dialog (my fav. method so far. it's like creating the ui using c# but a lot easier)
my application will be ipad only with a master-detail view. i want the detail views to be generated dynamically. the master view can be static. so my approach would be to combine static xib created ui with mt.d created ui - is that a good approach? the detail views will be generated dynamically from json files. it's a tree-like structure where the user can make inputs (bool, text, radio,..) and i want the user changed structure to be saved (file, webservice, doesn't matter atm) after this.
can everything be done with md.t? is md.t the way to go for business applications that do look like standard ios applications with no special painting or animation stuff in it?
it's pretty hard to get started with many ways to go and not knowing which it the right one :/
thanks in advance!!
