This project provides a cross-platform mvvm mobile development framework built on top of Silverlight for WP7, Mono for Android and MonoTouch for iOS.
To learn about what MVVM is... please go look on Bing, Google, or StackOverflow.
To see how MvvmCross provides ViewModels, Views and bindings, see the tutorial steps in the wiki - https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/wiki/_pages
This project was born from:
- a branch of the MonoCross project, moving away from MVC and towards MVVM
- an extension project from http://www.cirrious.com
- some ideas from MvvmLight
- some ideas from Phone7.Fx (OpenNetCF)
Currently working:
- Android
- Touch - fully working on iPhone - some iPad master/detail/popup/etc code working on the MWC sample
- WindowsPhone
- CustomerManagement sample
- A Tutorial sample
- Console (partly working)
Currently not progressed:
- Book sample
Will not be progressed:
- WebKit - we simply don't believe that a web server client belongs here in this mobile mvvm framework...
Under consideration
- Blendability
- Test integration
- Better Samples
- More cross platform services (accelerometer, contacts, sql, etc)
