Mono Project

Interview with Ximian’s Miguel de Icaza on the Mono project. Writes .Net magazine: “Ximian initiated the Mono project to develop an open source, Linux-based version of the Microsoft .NET development platform. The project’s objective is to include key .NET compliant components, including a C# compiler, a common language runtime (CLR) just-in-time (JIT) compiler, and a full suite of class libraries. The hope is for developers to be able to create .NET applications, then run them on Windows or any Mono-supported platform, including Linux and Unix.”
