metatron Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Hay I’ve been using Mono for sometime now and the other day I was talking to a group of programmers and I brought up the subject of using Mono and they looked at me like I had a seconded head. I was just wondering if any one else uses Mono?. Quote
VaKo Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_General ^^ This thing? ^^ I may sound dumb, but what does .NET actually do that makes it cool? I'm a total newbie when it comes to programming, never had a reason to learn. Quote
metatron Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 It's an open source, version of the Microsoft .NET development platform which can be run on pretty much any OS. Well if you build an application using Mono it is possible to have it run on any OS. It’s a lot cleaner then doing it in Python (using something like wxPython for the GUI) Quote
jollyrancher82 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 I played with Mono back when it first came out and haven't since because I am not a fan of .NET Quote
Neod101 Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I may sound dumb, but what does .NET actually do that makes it cool? As far as I can tell it allows a few new programing languages... and the ATI drivers... and that XPize thing you linked to (that I've now installed). Quote
jollyrancher82 Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 ATi drivers are not .NET, a program included with the drivers is .NET, coding drives in .NET is 100% retarded Quote
melodic Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 ATi drivers are not .NET, a program included with the drivers is .NET, coding drives in .NET is 100% retarded but this is ATi where talking about ;) Quote
jollyrancher82 Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 rofl... it's like my friend telling me he wants to code an Operating System in Visual Basic .NET Quote
metatron Posted April 30, 2006 Author Posted April 30, 2006 Every language has it’s plusses and negatives when it comes to projects but Visual Basic .NET is not suitable for that.. Quote
Neod101 Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 ATi drivers are not .NET, a program included with the drivers is .NET, coding drives in .NET is 100% retarded Oh that's right... the Catalyst Control Centre requires .NET Framework 1.1(or is it 2.0 now?). Quote
cooper Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I took note of it before 1.0 came out. Back then we were a Java shop at work, eyeing at .NET for future expansion. Tried to get the company to give me some time to set up a team and work on this. Before it got going another branch in the company claimed the .NET expertise crown, which effectively meant we weren't allowed to work with it on company time. Stupid way of dealing with things, but that's how it went. I tried to pick it up on my own time, but since there's not a lot of that anymore I haven't really done much. So, NO, I don't use it. I do want to though. It would be a shame if only Visual Studio can be used to develop in any of the .NET languages (though I think SharpDevelop is getting somewhere, and Eclipse has a couple of plugins if I'm not mistaken).

Darren Kitchen Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 I hate the new ATI Catalyst control panel that requires the .net framework. It runs so slow. Quote
Sparda Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 I hate the new ATI Catalyst control panel that requires the .net framework. It runs so slow. Agreed, it sucks. I want the old propertis menu system back. ATI in all there 'wizdom' (if at all it can be called) have desided to stick with the craptastic control panle. Quote
Neod101 Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Yeah it does piss me off that it's slow to start up. I use ATI Tray Tools now instead. Quote
Technologique Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Sorry for this, but it's kinda obligatory in this era of Pop Culture... I spent a whole year of school thinking I had mono, but it turned out that I was just really, really bored. Quote
moonlit Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 and I realised there was a switch on my headphones... now I listen in poly! Quote
