Monotouch is a powerful tool to create native iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod) apps written in C# backed by (a native version of) the .net framework. I have been using it for some time now to my great satisfaction. Learning Monotouch was a somewhat bumpy road. The native language for iOS is objective C and the majority of the resources on iOS development use that language. Objective C is on itself not a bad language at all. But the syntax is somewhat awkward and the philosophy differs enough from C# to make the learning curve for us .net-ers rather steep.
There are a lot of resources on the web on Monotouch, a lot with practical hands on examples. They do learn you how to build working (and appstore accepted apps) but not many of them spend any attention on the background or architecture of iOS. Making it hard to understand all Objective C resources, even having learned the syntax.
