Editor's note
If you're a C# developer who has felt neglected by iOS because you didn't know the right language, then help is on its way, thanks to Xamarin. In the latest episode of The Upside, we chat to Xamarin CEO Nat Friedman on the challenges of bringing C# to non-C# platforms, as well as peer into Nat's Linux and Mono past. Our series on the stock apps of Windows RT is drawing to a close, with the penultimate instalment looking at the Store, Calendar, People, and News apps. Have a great week, everyone. --Chris
