For years I've been developing with C#, that is most of the time. At home I use Linux on most of my computers (the ones that run on Windows are my wife's, so my time on these computers is limited). Since I don't have to do any development at the office, my other developing skills in other languages than C# tent to get quite rusty. That gives me a problem. Visual Studio doesn't work with Linux. So whenever I need to develop a small tool (that also must work under Windows, otherwise a bash scripts will do, of course!) I would like to use C#. Luckily there is MonoDevelop. Monodevelop is a fork of SharpDevelop, both are full IDE's to develop .Net applications with support for a few languages. I really love Monodevelop. It needs a little time to get used to. Most of it works quite the same as Visual Studio, except for a few hotkeys and the way the intellisense works. But after an hour of working with it, you'll get used to that. The solutions created by MonoDevelop are compatible with Visual Studio. This is quite handy. For example: some of the example solutions on this blog are created with MonoDevelop or SharpDevelop. Another positive side of MonoDevelop is that is much leaner than Visual Studio. It's smaller and uses less resources. If you ever need a free and complete IDE for .Net applications, give MonoDevelop or SharpDevelop a try! They are different from each other, so maybe you want to try them both and see which one suits your needs best. |
