I've been playing with Mono and the Monodevelop IDE for a couple of weeks,
learning C# along the way. I'm not a hard-core programmer, but what I've
seen has been sweet. You can use Glade to develop the GUI, then Monodevelop
to write the code with GTK#.

Is it worth mentioning Mono?  Mono is supposed to be a .NET clone and
killer.  It wants to add all of .NET options and add anything that seems
better.

Given the ability for Mono to be installed correctly, I think you could be
able to port your software over many different Linux distributions, as well
as a possibility for using it with Windows.

Otherwise you have to choose between writing under Gnome, KDE, or X11.

P.S. I don't develop but saw some potential in Mono that got me excited
about the future of Linux.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

Subject: [TCLUG] Gui development on Linux


I have been using Linux for a few years now, but all my software 
development has been for Windows (MFC and VB). We finally have a 
customer who wants to use Linux.

What tools/development environments are available for developing GUI 
apps in Linux? Favorites?

What we need to do is not very complicated -- something comparable to a 
simple VB app on Windows.

Thanks
Patrick
