Mono's Cocoa# Underway, GTK# Takes on Windows.Forms

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the portability-now dept.

Gentu writes "OSNews posted some exclusive screenshots of a new project in the Mono community: Cocoa#. Apparently there are a couple of Apple engineers helping out the project that allows developers to create graphical Cocoa applications under Mac OS X using the C#, Python or Basic language. Mono seems to be doing well in the Windows land too, allowing developers to use GTK# instead of Windows.Forms to create multi-platform apps."

      tabbed browsing is now just an annoyance thanks to expose..
      I use tabbed browsing and Expose (and Desktop Manager) and your comment made no more sense to me than someone saying "loud dogs are now just annoyance thanks to my new wrist-watch".

    Why are vice presidents at work mandating its use in a hard realtime product?

    Funny, I was just reading a very good essay on this subject earlier today.

    My favorite paragraph:

    Why does he think this? Let's take a look inside the brain of the pointy-haired boss. What he's thinking is something like this. Java is a standard. I know it must be, because I read about it in the press all the time. Since it is a standard, I won't get in trouble for using it. And that also means there will always be lots of Java programmers, so if the programmers working for me now quit, as programmers working for me mysteriously always do, I can easily replace them.


    Replace "java" with "COBOL" if you're talking about thirty years ago, "C++" if you're talking about 15 years ago, or ".NET" if you're talking about this year.

    Take a look at how NSUndoManager was implemented

    In VB it's implemented like this:

    SendKeys{"CONTROL+Z"}.

    The fact that the parent was modded 'informative' is absolutely tragic.

    In other news, I heard that if you use .NET the wheels of your car fall off.
