Having built up a mess of PHP code over five years, we're now looking at
making a clean break to something new and shiny. We're a PHP/Linux shop for
all server activity so would like to use Mono+Apache.
The problem I'm having is finding definitive info on IDEs given that we'll be
using the Web forms functionality exclusively.
Management would like us to use Visual Studio. VS confuses me greatly. The
'Standard' C# edition is about £90 whilst the Developer edition is £1500.
I guess I'm just looking for some sage advice on how a 5-developer operation
with source control might work re: a Mono backend.. are there any things I
need to bear in mind e.g. with a dev working on code and ASP.NET execution on
localhost, and then submitting to CVS / SVN ? If it works on their local
machine, should it work with Mono?
What about database connections (we're using MySQL of course..) - is the C#
code likely to be identical whether run on MS's .NET SDK or Mono?
Does VS even let you use CVS / SVN as opposed to Visual SourceSafe?
Sorry if this is mostly off-topic - am just looking for a little reassurance
since this is all very new to me.
Cheers,
Gavin.
Hi Gavin:
In my opinion you can get a lot of millage using Visual C# 2003 edition
when coupled with the Win32 versions of Mono and its related
technologies. In fact I have made a point of making Windows accessible
and friendly to Windows developers but that plan to eventually or
concurrently deploy their creations to other Mono supported platforms.
Here in Texas, a few of the Mono hackers did a presentation for what was
then the Plano .NET User Group. The main focus was to highlight the
ease of development when using Visual Studio/C# in Windows to test with
Mono and deploy to Linux and Mac OS X.
Some notes that I put together then can be found in the blog entries of
that time frame:

Hope this helps :)
