Creating .NET C# Applications for Linux

Posted by Zonk on from the expanding-your-horizons dept.

An anonymous reader wrote to mention an article on the IBM site entitled Mono brings .Net Apps to Linux. From the article: "Mono gives open source developers the programming power and flexibility to build applications for Linux while maintaining cross-platform capabilities, using a variety of .NET-compatible languages. One of the great advantages of Mono for current .NET developers is providing an easier migration path to Linux. The Mono project has a very open and active development community and provides both developer tools and the infrastructure needed to run .NET client and server applications. Perhaps the most important benefit of using the Mono architecture is that you gain language independence. Mono lets you leverage any existing code from languages supported in the .NET runtime. "

    You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

    Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage

      You can run Mono in almost any version of Windows.

    Fortunately for you, the Linux crowd throws like girls. They don't get out much to do real physical activity, so they couldn't throw much harder than my two-year-old.

    Now if they get ahold of some open source robotic arm code, you are screwed.

    It's run by Miguel de Icaza, also responsible for KDE

    Asshat. De Icaza started Gnome, for two reasons that I can see:

    • KDE wasn't GPL at the time.
    • Linux desktops hadn't yet copied ALL of Redmond's mistakes

    His goals are now complete.
