I just woke up to the announcement over
at Chris Blizzard's blog (from Planet Gnome) that Mono today
was included in Rawhide, the staging area for the next release
of Fedora Core.
These are fantastic news for Mono users and developers
everywhere and for Fedora users which will get both Mono and
the various Mono-based applications that have been cooking.
Am looking forward to work together with the Fedora folks.
If you are a new Mono user, here are some useful links:
- A directory of introductory
topics to Mono.
- Links
our development plans, broken up by category. A
good entry point into the Mono hacking universe.
- Mono's Platform
Support.
- Gnome users will be interested in Gtk#:
our binding to the GNOME platform libraries.
- Documentation on Embedding
Mono into your C application, to extend your
application with Mono-based code.
- Programming
Languages that are supported by Mono. As your
tour guide, I suggest you look into these tasty new
languages: Boo, IronPython and
Nemerle.
- For those learning C# for the first time, I still
strongly recommend the ECMA
334 specification: the first few chapters include
a very well written tutorial.
- Edd and Niels book remains a good introduction to
Mono and GUI programming on Linux: Mono: A
Developer's Notebook.
