This is a guide to using the open source project Mono to develop applications for the .NET development platform using Microsoft's object-oriented programming language C# (C-sharp). With Mono, which is aiming to become a complete implementation of .NET, programmers using either Linux or Windows get access to the .NET development platform. The book concentrates Linux programmers wanting to get started with C#. It assumes some programming experience, but no prior experience of C# or .NET. While readers will get a lesson of C# from the beginning-to-end, they should also get a view of the technologies that are not available on Windows, such as Gtk#.
