Hi All again.. Today i plan to sharing information about development and tech review to Mono Technology.. Actually mono is a medical science and in Latin means one or single but they are not care us.. Mono is a new solution a new wave i just tell new generation of Linux platform.. Because Powered by .NET :)
Currently on wiki Mono means like : “Mono is a free and open source project led by Novell (formerly by Ximian) to create an Ecma standard compliant, .NET-compatible set of tools, including among others a C# compiler and a Common Language Runtime. Mono can be run on Linux, BSD, UNIX, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows operating systems.”
but most of i like part of
Cross Platform!, Open Source ! .NET development framework! These triple objects are my base architecture of tech love :)
I have 2 mono review from before if you want to know deeply mono project please check
Mono is a software platform designed to allow developers to easily create cross platform applications. Sponsored by Novell, Mono is an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework based on the ECMA standards for C# and the Common Language Runtime. A growing family of solutions and an active and enthusiastic contributing community is helping position Mono to become the leading choice for development of Linux applications.
But mono word wtf question answer is actually some strange. Because Project owner is Miguel de Icaza (known as gnome architecture by gnu organization) The logo of Mono is a monkey's face, mono being Spanish for monkey. The name relates to the monkeys and apes that are a central theme within Ximian, such as the GNOME Project's logo (a monkey's footprint), the Bonobo project (bonobos are a species of chimpanzee), the Novell Evolution (formerly Ximian Evolution) Project, and the Ximian logo itself (a monkey's silhouette). According to the Mono FAQ, the origin of the name is "We like monkeys."
But i bealive Mono so different from tools.. Its some kind a new generation for Linux, like Platform inside Platform..
Have tons of modules like;
Programming Languages (C# and all other .NET languages)
.NET Platform ( %100 Supports 2.0, %95 3.5, %70 4.0) ( Have to tell, Mono Developers using 4.0 tools really lots of time before.. Because its open and they doesn’t waits publish :)
Silverlight (known as Moonlight), Ado.NET and some tools.
WCF Supporting!
Also ASP.NET & Server Tools!
Monodevelop (free development ide (also run @ MS Windows NT Platforms))
and more lots of things
if you like so lets start from now lets start mono entertainment system for make your self cross, more power and free to develop!
Before forgot Mono runs on Mac OS too! :) ( hey don’t forgot the iphones too! :)
First we need to download platform ( but before start you should check http://www.mono-project.com/Start )
Our first step is become own a Mono Technology : This pictures belongs to http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html
Free to choice your mono platform.. 6.02.10 Version is 2.6.1 ( you can think .net 3.5 sp1)
Choice your stage and become download from http or torrent..
But i advices for first time is third one “live cd” Because its kind of System inside Linux os. After you download you can burn and run from your pc or work with your virtual pc ( virtualbox or vmware) And don’t forgot to take ur Mono(.net) platform everytime with your cd;)
Its 690~ mb takes after it 2 ways to do
1- Burn it on free compact disc
2- Run it on virtual pc
nice way for using first time , friendly use just download and use it don’t have an idea? http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/End-user_documentation check it..
Our next step is about using Mono and know Platform, Development ides and Source..
Keep stay on Haluk.NET ;)
