Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
A sat through a demo of Moonlight the other day and was impressed. Not only
was I impressed with what is being done to port .NET to theLinux environment,
but I was also impressed with the coming tool sets. For those people doing .NET
development, you might want to scurry over to www.mono-project.com if you’ve
never been there or if it has been a while. You’ll find that in addition to
ports of .NET for various operating systems such as Linux, you’ll now also find
MonoDevelop 1.0.
This is an IDE with features such as multiple language support, editors,
designers, source code control, and more. With integration with Visual Studio
Solutions, it is actually becoming possible to develop cross platform solutions
and not lose having tools to use on the alternate platforms.
If you have used MonoDevelop, drop by the Codeguru forums and let us know
what you think!
Until next week…
Brad!
