Welcome

The purpose behind this library is to facilitate the use of the .Net/Mono environment within a native BlackBerry 10 application.

Unlike MonoTouch and MonoDroid, building an app with MonoBerry doesn't require you to modify the main function. If a wrapper library such as OpenTK, or you abstract the BlackBerry specific components to your own separate library, then you can use the same main function that you would use for Windows/Mac OS-X/Linux/etc. without needing to make platform-specific wrappers for the main function and app entry, around your already platform-specific wrappers for the app.

It is very much a work in progress, and not a small one either. Basics first, such as BPS, and later there is hope to get Cascades implemented. Once that happens, then wrappers for Mono.Forms and other frameworks can be implemented.

There is also hope to develop a Visual Studio (2013 and up) addin so that projects can be worked with easier and NuGet packages for everything so that it's easily portable to work with. The cherry on top will/would be debugging support so you can develop AND debug an app without needing to rely on slog2 output (as is currently being used to create the libraries).
