Not an expert by any means, but what about Mono, the open source and
cross platform version of the .NET framework?
If you take a look at http://www.mono-project.com/Compatibility , you'll
see that it's mostly compatible with .NET 4.0, and claims to be 100%
compatible with .NET 3.5.
Java is also cross platform and will run on FreeBSD; or, like you say,
you could use Python with TkInter; there's doubtless many other
cross-platform solutions that I'm not aware of.
All best,

Hello all.
This is kind of off topic. My apologies in advance.
I am helping a non profit organization and giving some classes to
prepare students so they can be prepared and try to get a job (they are
students also and have the basics concepts already)
Anyway, I am interested in teach them to develop some simple
applications. From simple ones to destktop ones that access a database,
desktop ones that use internet to connect to a remote database and web
based ones with a database behind. We have 6 months and the idea is to
work a lot remotely. Thin is that I do not want to use any kind of
Microsoft products. Some of them do not have modern machines but until
now, in previous classs, we could install Freebsd, text mode, and work
from there.
Now we will try to have a graphical mode in Freebsd. With that we would
like to be able to develop graphical applications for Windows (we all
know that's the market and here some companies is what they are
looking), so maybe sound crazy but I am looking to develop applications
for Windows without using WIndows or Microsofot products at least.
I have been looking for this for months. First case using Windows but
not Microsoft products. I found some options BUT they all were expensive
on the deployment. The "runtimes" were not free and the amount of money
to pay was not a good option. Others provide " real free" excutables for
runtimes but the products were expensive. I am now trying to, If
possible, have FreeBSD running graphically and then use open source
software to develop graphical windows applications.
Maybe I am wrong but until now I think my only option is to use Phyton.
Is that correct? For what I have searched Python will let me create
executables and will let me create Graphical solutions even for other
platforms (Mac or LInux or whatever runs Python).
Talking with friend, he believes that my best bet is to teach them C or
C++ and use some of the options for developing graphically ( I am not a
C or C++ expert but I can learn alone).
I was wondering if you could give some advie and comments on this.
Are you developing commercial applications (including Windows ones)
using FreeBsd as your platform? Or Maybe any Linux Distribution?
Would you do that with Python or something else?
Any extra advice is more than welcomed.
Thanks in advanced.
