Xamarin Studio - C# Development just got better

Today is a glorious day for all C# developers that have been looking for a way to get away from windows as their development environment.

In my email today I got a lovely surprise:


Hi!

Xamarin has today announced Xamarin Studio, an evolution of the MonoDevelop IDE with tons of improvements. All the new code has been merged into the MonoDevelop repository and will be the foundation for future MonoDevelop and Xamarin Studio releases. If you want to try the new MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio you can get installers for Mac and Windows from the MonoDevelop download page.

Enjoy!
Lluis.

I urge you all to give it a try. Here are some instructions so that you don't make the same mistake I made:
  1. Download the latest mono for OSX. This is version 2.10.11
  2. Download Xamarin Studios from here.
  3. Install them both and fire up Xamarin Studios
Enjoy your C# development.
