First of all, what is Mono ?
Well Mono is an open source x-platform version of .NET, runs on Mac,Linux,… and Windows of course.
Great not ? You can develop everything you want (well almost) in your favorite language!
It’s still a beta project, so not all .NET frameworks have yet been made for Mono but every most common framework is already available and new frameworks are being added constantly.
More info, an overview of the availeble framworks and contribution info you can find on http://www.mono-project.com/ .
Now, setting up Mono is not a very easy task (some may disagree). But I found a rather complete and clear tutorial to set it up on codeproject.com written by Will Senn.
You can find it on http://www.codeproject.com/cpnet/hellomono.asp .
Hopefully this topic helps you on the road with Mono, it’s an interesting alternative for Java, Cocoa,C++, …
If you wouldn’t get it running feel free to mail me for some support.
Greetings !
