Deep Thoughts with Richard Schoen

For those of you interested in developing and scaling your Visual Studio VB.Net and C# applications to run Cross Platform, you may want to check out the open source Mono product. The following paragraph is a description of Mono from the Mono Project web site:

Mono provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix. Sponsored by Novell (http://www.novell.com), the Mono open source project has an active and enthusiastic contributing community and is positioned to become the leading choice for development of Linux applications.

Mono also includes its own web server that runs .Net code and web services. The web server is called: XSP. Apparently there is also an Apache Web Server Add-in called mod-mono-server which allows .Net applications to run under the standard Apache Web Server.

Check it out and have fun developing cross platform code.
