Hi folks.
I will admit straight away I don't know much about development for phones and tablets, I get the general idea, but I've not researched a great deal. However, I don't think google-researching will answer the question I have.
I understand using Visual Studio it's now possible to write apps for android and iPhone, Cool! But you have to write code using c#.
This is the bit I don't understand; c# and VB code get sent through the same compiler to create the .net code which is used with the framework to send your application to screen. (I'm missing out a few steps)
So, why can't I use VB to write my apps? Where does the limitation start and why? Does the problem lie with Xamarin?
After speaking to a couple of people here and making a bit of a fuss I hope there will be a VB template included in the next Monogame release, which is great for people wanting to write Windows games. I would love to write some mobile apps and have some fun ideas, but I'm limited to VB.
Please don't respond with 'Learn c#', because that's not a solution. And it's not possible.
Thanks.
