Continuous .NET C# and F# IDE

I love the IDE and it’s making it extremely easy to learn C#. However, the lack of an offline Doc built into the app really kills it for me. Dash has saved me there but it’s still aggravating. Another thing is that it would definitely improve the experience if we were able to access our files from the “files” app, so that we would be easily able to move our projects/apps from our main computer/examples we download from the internet without having to copy them over file...by....file. Of which it doesn’t even allow you to add .csproj files or even other file types that are available in the IDE itself. Only .cs files. Aside from those this is very much a solid IDE for learning C# and F# as well as application development with the Xamarin codebase.

I love playing around with Continuous when I have some spare time on the bus or in the pub. Quite powerful considering it compiles on iOS offline. It has its bugs and some workflows that took getting used to, but that didn’t stop me from prototyping 3 different games completely on my iPhone 6. If you love developing no matter where you are or how big your keyboard is, this is a solid app and IDE. Only wish there was better documentation and support. Supposed to be able to import my own libraries, but I haven’t been able to in my 1.5f years using it. Also would love to see the ability to import files or view the file structure in the files on iOS (to import sprites) Thank you developers of this IDE. I’ve used it tons.

I was just made aware of this tool yesterday while listening to Scott Hanselman's podcast ("Hanselminutes") where Scott interviewed Frank Krueger the creator of this app. I was really impressed by Frank's approach to the challenges inherent in creating an IDE of this sort and the IL interpreter, and mods to his Roselyn fork. More over, I really was pleased to hear Frank's vision of where this tool should go. He wants a built-in GIT repo client, but that might be more of an Apple attorney based (AAB) limitation. Frank also spoke about his desire to continuously improve the execution speed and dedication to the continuous debugger as well as source file integration is top priority. Frank really pulled off some great architectural mojo with this tool. Based on the quality of, and developer dedication to his other tools I've used - namely, "Calca" & "iCircuit" - I'm sure this app will continue to get more impressive as hurdles are cleared and his interaction with the Xamarin team increases. Keep up the excellent work Frank! What a helpful tool this is!!
