When you see things like < T > in C#, it's there for a good reason. It's called a generic and it makes your code better...and easier. For example, if you have regular collection, there is nothing in the language that forces you to store one particular datatype in the collection. Now, if you do a collection< string>, then the compiler forces all items stored in the collection to be of type string. If stops you from making errors.

You're going to have to learn symbols because your only options are XAML or HTML or Java. Pick one and suck it up and learn how to use it.

>I see there is two main way if I want to develop multi-OS apps with VS C# + Xamarin + XAML or JS + Cordova (or Cordova's child Phonegap) HTML5. I read a lot of articles all of them says which you know select it. It not fits with my situation. I don't know both of them. I don't like C# syntax. There are a lot of symbols. I remember I read a C# book years ago sample there was a usage like < T > . I don't like this. I prefer words. Also I don't like call sub-routines like web site. Also I don like either XAML or HTML5... :)

>Anyway, most important thing is not what I like. What is better for me; which is eaiser, which is better. C#? JS? Xamarin? Cordova? XAML? HTML5? I want to develop both Windows, Android and IOS at VS. I don't think Windows Mobile at this time. Because Windows Mobile 8 is not popular for handheld devices at Turkey, Windows CE and Android are popular. I know IOS devices are not handheld devices buth however they use iPads for our business type (mostly POS and Restaurant POS).
