I'm not a programmer but I did come across this site. I think it has the answers you are looking for. I haven't programed since C++ was brand new and have been trying to choose a versatile language to learn so I can get back into programming again and I came across this. It appears to be a way to allow Linux machines to have access to the .net framework and allow you to compile and run .net apps on a linux box. Hope this fits your needs.

You could of course simply use a C# plugin with Eclipse.

Now millions of students will have access to a cheap, industry standard IDE to code in...

Yeah! Since it's not like there's a kick-ass, extensible open source IDE that you can download for free which supports a whole range of languages, including C#...

Check out the The Mono Handbook for tutorials and general getting started instructions. It's still a work in progress, so many sections are still quite empty. Another resource you should familiarize yourself with is the MSDN developer documentation for most of the core .NET API, it includes a lot of examples.

I also recommend you check out the standard GTK+ tutorial. A lot of it is still directly applicable to GTK# and it's more complete than most GTK# only tutorials. If you're already familiar with GTK+, Glade# for Rapid Development will help you get up to speed with Mono.

Go see GotMono.COM

You laugh.
