Re: Thoughts on Mono?
said by KodiacZiller  :
What are your thoughts on Mono? Should it stay or should it go away?
GO AWAY, FAR AWAY!
Thats about the most I can say politely in a public form. Second, post pretty much sums it up.
I have two large projects in the works, and some of the rules:
NO ASP
NO ASP.NET
NO VB
NO VB.NET
NO MONO, Silverlight
NO C#
NO Flash
NO AIR
NO FLEX
You can pretty much use any other Linux based technology that works on a standard LAMP server, but if its anything from redmond, you can not and will not be allowed to us it.
two development companies have been rejected for their "we have ASP and were here to solve your problems" attitude..... NO THERES THE DOOR! What part of the above did you not get/understand. NO ASP, PERIOD. NO form, shape of it is allowed.
Same goes for an upcoming software package that will be custom built it 100% MUST run on Linux and MAC, win, and preferably ports to Palm, Blackberry, and other mobile devices EXCEPT iphones.
These two projects combined are probably easily worth $1.5MILLION dollars, and guess what? . . . ms crap will not be considered for it.
I take great effort to ensure that we support and embrace open standards and do not lock into proprietary data exchange formats. Given a choice bettween proprietary format and CSV. CSV will be chosen each and every time. I'll even ask for an ODS before I will submit to proprietary formats.
I am doing every thing I can at any point to go? What ms product/format/technology can be replaced by a Linux supported product/format/technology
Same crap with novell.... Suse and OpenSuse would be big contenders, but novell chose to make a deal with the devil, see ya! No thanks.
So mono is going no where with me. | |

| Dear Pen and friends,
I am amused that the endocrinal/viral disease and the programme have the same name.
I feel that, while the medical problem is more severe, both are better eradicated than tolerated.
Peace,
