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."

  1. For Linux? by thephotoman · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I want Mac OS's interface on Linux! I've done what I consider to be as good of a job as I can, but it's not the best knock-off in the world.

  2. Slashdot rewriting Apple story comment history by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I know this is OT, but it's an Apple thread, so here goes anyway.

    In the Johansen story posted earlier today, every single occurrence of the word 'mirror' has been completely and quietly cleaned out. Amazing how /. does that, just silently wiping history away. A whole swath of comments just dragged to the trash bin. Sad that /. would come to this.

    Will Slashdot also delete this message?

    I agree with all the technical aspects of your comment. c# is good, Java is good, and we are all happy, plus, most of the clients use windows so why not give them windows clients. VS.NET is great, too [Eclipse is superior in some ways though]

    But you fail to realize what many techies fail to realize: the company which controls the technology is important. It is important what the goals of the company controlling the technology are. It is important what the past behavior of the company controlling the technology was towards others. In short: politics and technology are inseparable.
    Enter open source: Once the source is public domain, it is free.

    Microsoft is a golden prison, and a lot of people are just very happy to sit in it. Good for them. Other people seek freedom - Java is a bit of freedom, but hampered by Sun's idiotic policies. Mono promises to be what Java should have been: Open source, cross platform [including the GUI, ahem], free.
