Free Ebook on C# Programming

Posted by michael on from the eye-strain dept.

christophw writes "The programmers of SharpDevelop (better known to the /. crowd will be its sibling MonoDevelop) together with the publisher Apress made the book Dissecting a C# Application - Inside SharpDevelop available as a freely downloadable PDF document (no, no registration required). So if you want to judge for yourself if one can build an application of scale with .NET (or Mono for that matter), you now have a 500+ pages book for the holiday reading season (or the virtual bookshelf)."

    I developed a .Net application without cross platform in mind at all, and immediately it ran under DotGNU's Portable.NET. and microsoft has expressed an interest in alternative implementations of .NET. according to the Mono faq at http://www.mono-project.com/about/faq.html#msft


    Question 38: Is Microsoft helping Novell with this project?

    There is no high level communication between Novell and Microsoft at this point, but engineers who work on .NET or the ECMA groups have been very friendly, and very nice to answer our questions, or clarify part of the specification for us.

    Microsoft is interested in other implementations of .NET and are willing to help make the ECMA spec more accurate for this purpose.
