This is the second post in a series about iOS development from the perspective of a C# developer.

In the previous post in the series we got started with MonoTouch and installed MonoDevelop and XCode. In this post, we’ll look at how to set up version control for an existing MonoTouch solution.

Version Control

I didn’t have enough time at the hackathon to learn how to set up version control for MonoDevelop on a Mac. So let’s fix that straight away.

Startup Weekend

On a recent month-long trip to South America, I took part in the Buenos Aires Startup Weekend hackathon and my team came second!](/how-i-went-from-c-number-developer-to-iphone-developer-in-a-weekend). The application we built is a treasure hunt game for tourists which helps them discover Buenos Aires. At the beginning of the weekend I knew nothing about mobile development. It was the first time I developed software using a Mac.

You give a one minute pitch on Friday evening.
Winners put together a team.
You work with your team on Saturday and Sunday to launch a product.
Demo for the judges.
Prizes. Beer. Sleep.

On the Friday I spoke no Spanish and had no idea how to write an iPhone app. By Sunday I still spoke no Spanish, but I’d built my first app and it won second prize!
