I am teaching at a software training centre, here in Mysore that imparts knowledge only on Open Source technologies. I have been contemplating the idea of disseminating Mono related information through the training center. However, i am not really sure about the kind of audience that would want to learn the same - would it be Linux people who want to learn about C# / .NET but don't want to do it on a Windows platform?
I need some solid answers and numbers to the questions below, to help
convince the management that this is indeed a area that we should
impart training and knowhow to -
1. Who are the people, who are actually using Mono? potentially will??
2. Do we have any estimate of the number of people who are doing so?
3. What is the average traffic on the mono-list each day, and on which area is the traffic concentrated?
4. Do we have an estimate to the number of Mono downloads that happen everyday?
5.Are there any commercial majors that are using the Mono class Libraries?
6. When will a concrete version of Mono be released?
7. In it's current state, is it worth doing a training course?
8. What is so useful about using the Mono class libraries?
9. Why would a beginner/intermediate student want to learn Mono, outside of interest in a new tech?
10. Will .Net 1.1 upset the reader base? Is Mono looking at establishing parity for it's components with .Net 11. What is the current job spec of the programmers that we can expect to attend this course?
Instead of spoiling the focus of the list, i will appreciate if you can send all replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks in advance for your time.
