"Reskill?" Do you mean "learn a cross-platform language?" I haven't seen this cross-compiler or porting tool. Will it really port an application of decent complexity and let it run on another platform? Is the .NET platform sufficiently abstracted to support other OSes, web servers and database interfaces? Are there no API or proprietary dependencies? Anyone here developing a Mono solution and have practical experience? (In counterpoint, I attended the local PySIG meeting last night, where there were three presenters. The first showed some Python on his MacBookPro under OS X. The second showed off some Python and FireFox work under Linux. The third demoed the Django web framework while running Windows XP. THAT's cross platform!) -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
