Write C# programs in Linux with the free and vendor-neutral DotGNU.
Like many, I grew up programming in C and C++ before moving into LAMP-land and Python, Perl, and PHP. But like that first car, first date, and first paycheck, everyone has a special memory of the first time they compiled gibberish into executable machine code.
Thanks to GCC, open source developers have never had any issues writing C or C++ code on a Linux platform. However, when Microsoft announced their .NET initiative and the intention to focus their efforts around C#, few people expected Microsoft to release a Linux client for their “platform-independent” development tool.
