What are peoples impressions of MONO? I've heard a few people mention how easy/powerful .NET is, does MONO compare? ( I'm not a developer of any sort, so am interested to know ).
If they have implemented all of the framework (as the .NET libraries are called) then from a development point of view it should compare exactly i.e. be exactly the same. This is a very good thing because it means that a developer who knows .NET/Windows, doesn't need to relearn anything (hopefully) in order to write programs that work under Linux. Under windows VB made it easy for anyone with half a clue to make programs. I wonder if Mono and the associated development tools will do the same for Linux? Not sure if this is a good thing but it seems to have worked for MS. g -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz
