Mono: A Developer's Notebook (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Mono Project is the much talked-about open source initiative to create a Unix implementation of Microsoft's .NET Development Framework. Its purpose is to allow Unix developers to build and deploy cross-platform .NET applications. The project has also sparked interest in developing components, libraries and frameworks with C#, the programming language of .NET.The controversy? Some say Mono will become the preferred platform for Linux development, empowering Linux/Unix developers. Others say it will allow Microsoft to embrace, extend, and extinguish Linux. The controversy rages on, but--like many developers--maybe you've had enough talk and want to see what Mono is really all about.There's one way to find out: roll up your sleeves, get to work, and see what you Mono can do. How do you start? You can research Mono at length. You can play around with it, hoping to figure things out for yourself. Or, you can get straight to work with Mono: A Developer's Notebook--a hands-on guide and your trusty lab partner as you explore Mono 1.0.Light on theory and long on practical application, Mono: A Developer's Notebook bypasses the talk and theory, and jumps right into Mono 1.0. Diving quickly into a rapid tour of Mono, you'll work through nearly fifty mini-projects that will introduce you to the most important and compelling aspects of the 1.0 release. Using the task-oriented format of this new series, you'll learn how to acquire, install, and run Mono on Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X. You'll work with the various Mono components: Gtk#, the Common Language Runtime, the class libraries (both .NET and Mono-provided class libraries), IKVM and the Mono C# compiler. No other resource will take you so deeply into Mono so quickly or show you as effectively what Mono is capable of.The new Developer's Notebooks series from O'Reilly covers important new tools for software developers. Emphasizing example over explanation and practice over theory, they focus on learning by doing--you'll get the goods straight from the masters, in an informal and code-intensive style that suits developers. If you've been curious about Mono, but haven't known where to start, this no-fluff, lab-style guide is the solution.

Rezensionen

"Der O'Reilly Verlag wartet mit der Buchreihe "A Developer's Notebook" auf, die nach dem Prinzip "In der Kürze liegt die Würze" abgefasst ist und in der Machart an alte Schulhefte erinnert. Eine originelle Idee. [...]

Konnten die Autoren (und der Verlag) dem eigenen Anspruch gerecht werden? Ja, unbedingt. Das Buch ist gut gegliedert, flüssig geschrieben und vermittelt kompetent Wissen. Man kann sofort loslegen und die zahlreichen sinnvollen Beispiele ausprobieren - nach einer erfolgreichen Installation. [...] Schön, dass es der Verlag immer wieder versteht, den Leser mit Innovationen der besseren Art zu überraschen. Fakt ist: Wer sich ernsthaft für Mono und die "freie" C#-Entwicklung interessiert, wird an diesem "Schulheft" nicht vorbeikommen. "

Dot.net Magazin, 11/2004"Edd Dumbill, der unter anderem für die Bluetooth-Unterstützung des Gnome-Desktop und die Gnome-Pakete der Linux-Distribution Debian verantwortlich zeichnet, liefert zusammen mit Niel Bornstein eine hervorragende Einführung in die Programmierung mit der Mono-Plattform, der Open-Source-Implementierung von Microsofts .NET.Ihr Buch ist das erste der neuen `Developer's Notebook'-Reihe bei O'Reilly. Bücher dieser Reihe schreiben so genannte `Alpha-Geeks'. Unter dieser Wortschöpfung versteht Tim O'Reilly `Leitwölfe' der IT-Industrie im Allgemeinen und der Open-Source-Gemeinde im Besonderen. Die Developer's Notebooks sind von dem Gedanken getragen, die Notizen eines `Alpha-Geek' zu sein, entstanden während der Arbeit an einem neuen Thema. Praxisorientiertes steht im Vordergrund. Dies wird begleitet von angemessen viel Theorie. Damit richten sich die Bücher ausdrücklich an Programmierer, denen das Programmieren wirklich Spaß bereitet (eben Geeks). [...]Geeks dürfte der Band gefallen, da Code manchmal mehr sagt als sprichwörtliche `tausend Worte'. Die No-Nonsense-Herangehensweise, die der Herausgeber in seinem Vorwort darlegt, ist genau das, was Programmierer sich wünschen. Wer ein Werk sucht, bei dem der Fokus eben nicht auf Code liegt, dem ist dieses Buch wahrscheinlich wenig hilfreich." - iX. 02/2005, Sebastian Bergmann
