Bielieve it or not, there are some coders who have never heard of non-MS products and their work shows it.
I do believe it because I've seen it.
Get Edd Dumbills' "Mono Notebool" Cheap good and straight to the point.
Found Edd's site with a link to the book:

I also recall that Sams was publishing a book on Mono, but couldn't find it.
The reason I'm asking is because I working with a group that teaches high school students computing technology. Currently, it's IIS/ASP/VBScript with MySQL, but we're looking to the future and they are seeing .NET. Apparently, an MS person drops by regularly to give them pep-talks and swag, and brief them on up-and-coming technology. I'd like to broaden their vision.If going to .Net. Mono is your OSS friend. Some big sites are using it. Don't have any URLs *check Mono home site) but Netcraft report 1% of all ASP.Net sites are using Mono.
Found the mono site:
http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
but couldn't find the list of sites that are using it. However, I did see this on the Mono site: "Mono can run existing programs targeting the .NET or Java frameworks." Does this mean I can run Java programs under Mono?
BTW, the mono wiki is using MediWiki. Makes me wonder why not a wiki in Mono.
