But how do you actually use it? Mike Bluestein, who you might\u00a0recognize\u00a0from our <a href=\"\/category\/xaminar\/\">Xamarin Seminars<\/a>, has created a 15 minute introduction on MonoTouch.Dialog to get you started.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j7OC5r8ZkYg]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> To view this video in HD, open it up in <a title=\"MonoTouch.Dialog in HD\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j7OC5r8ZkYg&amp;hd=1\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>\u00a0or select 720p in the video above.<\/p>\n<p>Using MonoTouch.Dialog allows applications to be created with rich, table-based user interfaces, without all the complexities associated with creating such interfaces manually. At the same time, MonoTouch.Dialog doesn&#8217;t limit the ability to customize such applications. This video introduces MonoTouch.Dialog by way of an example that demonstrates how to create a master- detail style of application. It shows how to use MonoTouch.Dialog to present hierarchies of information and use it to create table based user interfaces automatically.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information be sure to check out our <a href=\"http:\/\/docs.xamarin.com\/ios\/tutorials\/Introduction_to_MonoTouch.Dialog\">MonoTouch.Dialog tutorial<\/a>.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just two days ago, we launched MonoTouch 5.2, featuring a memory profiler, unit testing framework, and a new generational garbage collector.
